A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

If you're just looking for appointment scheduling then Easy!Appointments may work. It has a self-hosted version. Note: I've not tested it, I just went searching online because I was curious.
Aside from that, there looks to be a ton of WordPress plugins you can use, though they usually have a (smallish) cost associated with them.
I didn't think to look for WordPress plugins but that's actually a pretty good idea
Easy!Appointments actually looks perfect thank you for bringing this to my attention
Probably not. This rosy app is tailored to salon stuff and honestly looks really good.
It doesn't look any more 'tailored' then any other scheduling software? There seems to be 0 salon specific features after a quick glance.
I know you're looking for self-hosted, and I hope you find it. But in case you don't, the free tier of calendly might do the job. I used to use it when I was job hunting.
That's what I was thinking we might go with if we can't find anything else
I had LibreBooking running for a bit as a solution to an unrelated problem (scheduling a piece of equipment), but it may also fit your use case.
I’ve not used it myself but cal.com could work for you as well. Their docs provide instructions on how to self host.
ETA: I think I actually tried this out on the individual tier for my wife, she was thinking of doing some personal training / life coaching and using this to provide appointments. I thought it was flexible enough but didn’t give it an earnest try.
FYI cal.com has recently gone closed-source "for security".
Oof.. that’s dumb. It seemed like decent software, wonder if anyone forked it prior to that
Edit: looks like there’s cal.diy on github. Not a fan of open source being a second class
Didn't cal.com only exist to be an open source version of Calendly?
I've always found them to be much better than Calendly, on several levels. Not just open-source. It's really the premiere scheduling software, I think.
Over kill unless you already run it, but nextcloud can do appointments.
Also Im if your a Google device, your Gmail calendar may also do appointments
You’ve got some good options, but let me mention that if you dig Odoo, there are alternatives to pretty much all the “Enterprise” apps. Just use the Third Party App Store or browse through the OCA (https://apps.odoo-community.org/shop).
