pretix - Ticketing software that cares about your event—all the way

Wordpress site in Cloudron with a plugin called "Appointment Hour Booking"

Similarly to me finding it a little strange that you were comparing Easy Appointments to Attendize and Pretix, I find it mildly bizarre that you tried to create an events thing on WordPress using an Appointment Hour Booking plugin instead of the many many WordPress plugins actually designed for creating Events based websites

[imc67]

@jdaviescoates the use case are not events but time slots for a museum ...

[jdaviescoates]

@imc67 heh, that makes a lot more sense

[imc67]

@jdaviescoates @girish @nebulon I really hope this gets more attention as it will also be the first in it’s kind on Cloudron and also really needed in the hopefully soon coming release of the lockdowns.

I see apps on the wishlist with less votes getting here sooner.

[jdaviescoates]

@imc67 yeah, I'd love to have this too! (in time for when things start to open up again here in the UK...)

@jdaviescoates Actually, pretix would work great for digital events too - webinars, etc.
They support webinars in their paid versions, but I am sure the open source version can be used to register attendees for online events too.

On this topic, has anybody tried out https://www.attendize.com/? Development seems to have stalled (site last updated in 2020). Github: https://github.com/Attendize/Attendize

Docker: https://www.attendize.com/getting_started.html#running-attendize-in-docker-for-development

Can this be used for something like a group buy? Once all seats are filled, the event happens.

@nebulon this is VERY interesting

I had a request for an 'Eventbrite alternative' today. This looks promising.

the only open-source self-hosted software of its type

@Sam_uk
Indeed!

Open Source Eventbrite Alternatives | AlternativeTo

@Sam_uk No FOSS, but worth a look from my research on similar: https://www.thundertix.com/

Do bear in mind that Eventbrite has somewhat of a network effect for promoting events in justification for it's higher fees though.

Thanks, I just discovered gath.io because of that and have created an app wishlist post here:

Bump.

Eventbrite are charging for free ticketed events with over 25 tickets, so there may be renewed interest in this.

[imc67]

It’s one of the “pro” categories that is missing on Cloudron and we desperately need it.

[marcusquinn]

I realise it's not everyone's cup of tea, but always worth looking at WordPress plugin options for things like this. Always amazes me how many things that ecosystem solves, plus all data integrated with the hosting website, to save from setting up separate sites and data synching for these sorts of things.

This would be very cool !!!

@nebulon
What are the chances we'll see Pretix on Cloudron soon?

[IniBudi]

Will you add to Cloudron app lists?
