Eventcraft on Self-Hosted VPS
Host it on your own $5 VPS — your data, your domain, your rules, with no per-seat pricing ever.
Setup on Self-Hosted VPS
Get the code
Clone or download Eventcraft from the repository (https://github.com/bensblueprints/event-registration-mvp) — the README documents the setup.
Deploy on your own server
Self-host on your own VPS or server — Docker or the one-command setup from the repo README. Point your domain at it when you're ready.
Keep your data yours
Your data stays on hardware you control — no third-party cloud, no per-seat pricing, no telemetry back to us.
Because Eventcraft is self-hosted, "offline" is your call — run it on a LAN or behind a VPN and it never touches the public internet.
Eventcraft on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Eventcraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/event-registration-mvp. The $39 buys the packaged installer and 1-click setup; building from source is free.
Where does my attendee data live?
In one SQLite file on your own server or machine. Zero telemetry, and Eventcraft makes zero API calls to any payment provider.
