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 don't yet know the scope of everything I might need, but right now I believe that a customer management system is the focus. A way to input their details and payment information to have an automatic recurring membership.
I don't think I really need a way for them to view their account as it won't have any fancy features. I just need to know that they are a member and have a membership renewal. They can sign up and cancel in person or over the phone (I'm not making it disgustingly hard for people to cancel like the large gyms).
On top of that I would imagine it would be nice for the software to keep track of my total number of patrons and thus a total income amount
Something like odoo (https://www.odoo.com/) might work?
You probably aren't going to find something that works for your specific needs right out of the box, so your best bet would be finding a platform that gets you 80% of the way there and provides enough of a plugin mechanism that you can develop the remaining 20% of the functionality yourself
There's a lot to look into there. It covers quite a bit so it could work. I'll research this for sure. Thank you a lot!
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.
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.
