[!WARNING]
Use at your own risk. Cal.diy is the open source community edition of Cal.com and it is intended for users who want to self-host their own Cal.diy instance. It is strictly recommended for personal, non-production use. Please review all installation and configuration steps carefully. Self-hosting requires advanced knowledge of server administration, database management, and securing sensitive data. Proceed only if you are comfortable with these responsibilities.
[!TIP] For any commercial and enterprise-ready scheduling infrastructure, use Cal.com, not Cal.diy; hosted by us or get invited to on-prem enterprise access here: https://cal.com/sales

About Cal.diy
Cal.diy is the community-driven, fully open-source scheduling platform — a fork of Cal.com with all enterprise/commercial code removed.
Cal.diy is 100% MIT-licensed with no proprietary "Enterprise Edition" features. It's designed for individuals and self-hosters who want full control over their scheduling infrastructure without any commercial dependencies.
What's different from Cal.com?
- No enterprise features — Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed
- No license key required — Everything works out of the box, no Cal.com account or license needed
- 100% open source — The entire codebase is licensed under MIT, no "Open Core" split
- Community-maintained — Contributions are welcome and go directly into this project (see CONTRIBUTING.md)
Note: Cal.diy is a self-hosted project. There is no hosted/managed version. You run it on your own infrastructure.

Windows users: Replace the
packages/prisma/.envsymlink with a real copy to avoid a Prisma error (unexpected character / in variable name):# Git Bash / WSL rm packages/prisma/.env && cp .env packages/prisma/.env
Set up Node If your Node version does not meet the project's requirements as instructed by the docs, "nvm" (Node Version Manager) allows using Node at the version required by the project:
nvm useYou first might need to install the specific version and then use it:
nvm install && nvm useYou can install nvm from here.
Quick start with yarn dx

Development tip
Add
export NODE_OPTIto your shell script to increase the memory limit for the node process. Alternatively, you can run this in your terminal before running the app. Replace 16384 with the amount of RAM you want to allocate to the node process.Add
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL={level}to your .env file to control the logging verbosity for all tRPC queries and mutations.
Where {level} can be one of the following:0for silly1for trace2for debug3for info4for warn5for error6for fatalWhen you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL={level}in your .env file, it enables logging at that level and higher. Here's how it works:The logger will include all logs that are at the specified level or higher. For example: \
- If you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=2, it will log from level 2 (debug) upwards, meaning levels 2 (debug), 3 (info), 4 (warn), 5 (error), and 6 (fatal) will be logged. \ - If you set
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=3, it will log from level 3 (info) upwards, meaning levels 3 (info), 4 (warn), 5 (error), and 6 (fatal) will be logged, but level 2 (debug) and level 1 (trace) will be ignored. \
- If you set
echo 'NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGGER_LEVEL=3' >> .env
for Logger level to be set at info, for example.
Gitpod Setup
Click the button below to open this project in Gitpod.
This will open a fully configured workspace in your browser with all the necessary dependencies already installed.
Manual setup
Configure environment variables in the
.envfile. Replace,,, andwith their applicable valuesDATABASE_URL='postgresql://:@:'
If you don't know how to configure the DATABASE_URL, then follow the steps here to create a quick local DB
Download and install PostgreSQL locally (if you don't have it already).
Create your own local db by executing
createDBNow open your psql shell with the DB you created:
psql -h localhost -U postgres -dInside the psql shell execute
\conninfo. And you will get the following info.
Now extract all the info and add it to your DATABASE_URL. The url would look something like this
