Overview

Hi.Events is an open source platform for organising events and selling tickets end to end. You create events and multiple ticket types, take orders, manage attendees and orders, design a branded public event and checkout page, capture custom questions at purchase, apply promo codes and capacity limits, send attendee messages, and run day of check in with QR code scanning. It also offers organiser reporting and data export, a webhooks and REST API for integrations, and optional online card payments. The platform pairs a REST API with a modern web client, stores everything in a relational database, and runs a background worker for email and other queued jobs, so a single modest instance comfortably runs real events for an organiser or a small team.

Why the cloudimg image

The upstream project ships with open self registration and example secrets, so cloudimg makes every instance secure by default before the port is ever public. On first boot each instance generates its own application encryption key, its own token signing secret and a unique database password, and seeds an administrator account with a random password written to a root only file, then locks self registration so no anonymous visitor can create an organiser account on your server. Nothing usable is baked into the image and no two instances share a secret. The application, database and background worker run as containers bound to the loopback interface and are reached through a single hardened reverse proxy on one port, so no database or cache port is ever exposed. Every deployment comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Sell tickets for conferences, meetups and community events from your own instance
  • Manage attendees, orders and promo codes with organiser reporting and data export
  • Run day of check in with QR code scanning at the door
