Cal.diy: open-source community edition of cal.com

Cal.diy is a community-driven, fully open-source fork of Cal.com, designed for self-hosting without commercial dependencies or enterprise-only features.
Warning
Use at your own risk. Cal.diy is the open source community edition of Cal.com and it is intended for users who want to self-host their own Cal.diy instance. It is strictly recommended for personal, non-production use. Please review all installation and configuration steps carefully. Self-hosting requires advanced knowledge of server administration, database management, and securing sensitive data. Proceed only if you are comfortable with these responsibilities.
Tip
For any commercial and enterprise-ready scheduling infrastructure, use Cal.com, not Cal.diy; hosted by us or get invited to on-prem enterprise access here: https://cal.com/sales

Setup Node If your Node version does not meet the project's requirements as instructed by the docs, "nvm" (Node Version Manager) allows using Node at the version required by the project:
nvm use
You first might need to install the specific version and then use it:
nvm install && nvm use
You can install nvm from here.
Requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed- Will start a local Postgres instance with a few test users - the credentials will be logged in the console

Add
export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=16384"
to your shell script to increase the memory limit for the node process. Alternatively, you can run this in your terminal before running the app. Replace 16384 with the amount of RAM you want to allocate to the node process. - Add
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL={level}
to your .env file to control the logging verbosity for all tRPC queries and mutations.
Where {level} can be one of the following:0
for silly
1
for trace
2
for debug
3
for info
4
for warn
5
for error
6
for fatalWhen you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL={level}
in your .env file, it enables logging at that level and higher. Here's how it works:The logger will include all logs that are at the specified level or higher. For example: \
- If you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=2
, it will log from level 2 (debug) upwards, meaning levels 2 (debug), 3 (info), 4 (warn), 5 (error), and 6 (fatal) will be logged. \ - If you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=3
, it will log from level 3 (info) upwards, meaning levels 3 (info), 4 (warn), 5 (error), and 6 (fatal) will be logged, but level 2 (debug) and level 1 (trace) will be ignored. \
- If you set
echo 'NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=3' >> .env
for Logger level to be set at info, for example.
Click the button below to open this project in Gitpod.
This will open a fully configured workspace in your browser with all the necessary dependencies already installed.
Configure environment variables in the
.env
file. Replace<user>
,<pass>
,<db-host>
, and<db-port>
with their applicable valuesDATABASE_URL='postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port>'
If you don't know how to configure the DATABASE_URL, then follow the steps here to create a quick local DB
Download and install postgres in your local (if you don't have it already).
Create your own local db by executing
createDB <DB name>
Now open your psql shell with the DB you created:
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d <DB name>
Inside the psql shell execute
\conninfo
. And you will get the following info. - Now extract all the info and add it to your DATABASE_URL. The url would look something like this
postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/Your-DB-Name
. The port is configurable and does not have to be 5432.
If you don't want to create a local DB. Then you can also consider using services like railway.app, Northflank or render.
Copy and paste your
DATABASE_URL
from.env
to.env.appStore
. - Set up the database using the Prisma schema (found in
packages/prisma/schema.prisma
)In a development environment, run:
yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-migrate
In a production environment, run:
yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy
Run mailhog to view emails sent during development
Required whenNOTE:E2E_TEST_MAILHOG_ENABLED
is "1"docker pull mailhog/mailhog docker run -d -p 8025:8025 -p 1025:1025 mailhog/mailhog
Run (in development mode)
yarn dev
Open Prisma Studio to look at or modify the database content:
yarn db-studio
Click on the
User
model to add a new user record. - Fill out the fields
email
,username
,password
, and setmetadata
to empty{}
(remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt) and clickSave 1 Record
to create your first user.New users are set on a
TRIAL
plan by default. You might want to adjust this behavior to your needs in thepackages/prisma/schema.prisma
file. - Open a browser to http://localhost:3000 and login with your just created, first user.
Seed the local db by running
cd packages/prisma
yarn db-seed
The above command will populate the local db with dummy users.
Be sure to set the environment variable NEXTAUTH_URL
to the correct value. If you are running locally, as the documentation within .env.example
mentions, the value should be http://localhost:3000
.
# In a terminal just run:
yarn test-e2e
# To open the last HTML report run:
yarn playwright show-report test-results/rep
