Easy!Appointments

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

Easy!Appointments is a powerful open source, self-hosted online appointment scheduler that lets your customers book appointments with your providers around the clock, from any device. This image delivers Easy!Appointments fully installed and configured as a production LAMP application, so a complete scheduling system is running within minutes of launch, with all of your booking data staying on your own server.

Application Stack

Easy!Appointments running on PHP 8.3 with php-fpm, served by nginx on port 80. A MariaDB database stores every appointment, customer, provider and service on a dedicated data disk so it is independently resizable and survives instance replacement. Systemd manages the database, the PHP FastCGI workers and the web server, starting them on boot and restarting them on failure.

Self-Hosted Online Scheduling

Publish a public booking page where customers pick a service, a provider and an available time slot, and confirm in a few clicks. Manage everything from the admin calendar: appointments, customers, services and service categories, providers and secretaries with their own working plans, blocked periods, unavailabilities and working-plan exceptions. Send email notifications and ICS calendar invites, sync provider calendars with Google Calendar and CalDAV, and drive everything programmatically through the built in REST API with per token access.

Secure First Boot

On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh database password and a fresh administrator password, both unique to that instance, installs the schema, creates the administrator account and pins the application to your instance address. The administrator password is written to a file only the root user can read, and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.

Ready To Use

The public booking page and the admin backend are served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in to the backend with the generated administrator credentials to add your services and providers, set working plans, configure notifications and integrations, and share your booking link with customers.
