Hi everyone.

I'm planning to open a small gym and am looking for management software. I don't want cloud services or a subscription fee. I use Linux in my personal life and would prefer to keep running that at the business. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing?

I plan to self host all my services and data if possible such as camera systems and maybe even the website (I found a great local website company I'll be talking with soon).

I've been using Ubiquiti/Unifi for my brewery setup (cameras, several private networks, phone tree stuff). It comes with some pretty solid management software accessible through the local network, but under the hood, everything's just running Alpine. There's a bit of a learning curve if you keep the management software installed (firmware updates wipe out the crontab, for example), but you can customize it pretty aggressively if you know your way around a terminal.

I used to love Ubiquiti but they're turning into cunts these days. I also heard there's been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.

I've since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.

That honestly sounds like the way to go, and I'll probably look into it when I have more time. I'm more a software person than a sysadmin and I'm not wildly confident that I won't accidentally close us down for a few days without a lot of prep. 😆
