As an event organizer, your attendees are your most important assets. Some internet-based ticketing services offer very attractive prices, but then they force your users to become also their users. Enter Alf.io, the open source event ticket system that allows you to self-host your own ticket reservation system for your events.

Alf.io is a free and open source event attendance management system, developed for event organizers who care about privacy, security and fair pricing policy for their customers.

You need to either save your API access token) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image": "alfio-7-6"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Alf.io

This image allows you to install and run a production-ready alf.io instance.

For production instances you should map your Droplet to a DNS address before logging in via SSH, as the very first operation will be the generation of the SSL certificate for your host / FQDN.

1. Create a DNS record for your droplet before logging in via SSH, as SSL certificates will be created for your hostname on first login
2. Connect to your droplet via SSH on ssh root@your_Droplet_FQDN
3. Follow the on-screen instruction and generate your SSL certificate
4. Wait until the Admin password has been generated. Then copy it.
5. Access the backoffice area of your instance: https://your-instance-url/admin
6. Log in with user admin and password as copied above
7. Finish setting up by filling in the required configuration, and enjoy alf.io!Should you have any questions, please reach out to:
