About The Project

Let's face it: Calendly and other scheduling tools are awesome. It made our lives massively easier. We're using it for business meetings, seminars, yoga classes and even calls with our families. However, most tools are very limited in terms of control and customisations. That's where Calendso comes in. Self-hosted or hosted by us. White-label by design. API-driven and ready to be deployed on your own domain. Full control of your events and data. Calendso is to Calendly what GitLab is to GitHub.

Built With

• Next.js
• React
• Tailwind
• Prisma

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, please follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

Here is what you need to be able to run Calendso.

• Node.js
• PostgreSQL
• Yarn (recommended)

You will also need Google API credentials. You can get this from the Google API Console. More details on this can be found below under the Obtaining the Google API Credentials section.

Development Setup

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/calendso/calendso.git
   

2. Install packages with yarn

   yarn install
   

3. Copy .env.example to .env

4. Configure environment variables in the .env file. Replace <user>, <pass>, <db-host>, <db-port> with their applicable values

   DATABASE_URL='postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port>'
   GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS='secret'
   

   If you don't know how to configure the DATABASE_URL, then follow the steps here

   1. Create a free account with Heroku.

   2. Create a new app.

   3. In your new app, go to Overview and next to Installed add-ons, click Configure Add-ons. We need this to set up our database.

   4. Once you clicked on Configure Add-ons, click on Find more add-ons and search for postgres. One of the options will be Heroku Postgres - click on that option.

   5. Once the pop-up appears, click Submit Order Form - plan name should be Hobby Dev - Free.

   6. Once you completed the above steps, click on your newly created Heroku Postgres and go to its Settings.

   7. In Settings, copy your URI to your Calendso .env file and replace the postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port> with it.

   8. To view your DB, once you add new data in Prisma, you can use Heroku Data Explorer.

5. Set up the database using the Prisma schema (found in prisma/schema.prisma)

   npx prisma db push --preview-feature
   

6. Run (in development mode)

   yarn dev
   

7. Open Prisma Studio to look at or modify the database content:

   npx prisma studio
   

8. Click on the User model to add a new user record.

9. Fill out the fields (remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt) and click Save 1 Record to create your first user.

10. Open a browser to http://localhost:3000 and login with your just created, first user.
