What Alf.io actually does
Alf.io is a self-hosted ticket reservation system designed for managing event registrations and check-ins. It provides tooling for organizers to handle seat allocations, attendee details, and ticket sales. As an open-source platform licensed under the GPL-3.0, it allows you to run your own registration infrastructure.
Best fit: Organisers and communities who want full control over attendee data and ticket sales without relying on hosted third-party platforms.
Worth knowing: The moderate maintenance activity and specific tech stack mean you may need to invest time in troubleshooting issues and keeping up with updates yourself.
Deployment notes
Being built with Java, it typically requires a Java runtime environment, a persistent relational database, and a reverse proxy like Nginx or Apache to handle TLS termination.
