Selfhosted
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.

I've used odoo before, it is a large piece of software and can be modified to do lots of things. Most likely you will be able to get it to do what you want. You'll probably need the e-commerce module, there is probably some sort of mode for subscriptions. You can also add the CRM on top for marketing, etc. there is also the booking module (iirc) which is maybe useful for sessions with trainers etc. maintenance might also be useful.
I did see the subscriptions module. Once you add enough modules it becomes a paid service. I have yet to find info on if Odoo is subscription based or a one time payment. I don't mind paying for a software but do not want a subscription service.
it is subscription, you pay per user per month. It is quite cheap imo, but I understand if you don't want to pay any subscription. But in that case you can just try to self host it instead.
Okay I see. I'll have to check how much it is. So this can be self hosted for free with the tradeoff of having to figure out how to do that? If that's the case then I could even start off with the ease of the subscription and over time get my self hosting setup figured out.
You can easily host the community edition in Docker or otherwise. Odoo has a steep learning curve but it's very versatile. It can definitely do what you describe.
That's good to know. I'll look into the Docker image. Thank you
No worries. It has a stripe integration, too, so it's easy to handle payments without having to hold customers' credit card info.
