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).

    payment information

    You can nope alllllllllll the way out of that. Payment information means credit cards means PCI compliance. That’s something you’ll definitely want to outsource.

      I understand the payment will have to connect to the internet and be outsourced but I want all my customer data to stay on my server

        It’s honorable to want to keep all customer data within your control, but seriously unless you already have experience dealing with PCI compliance, that’s one part you should definitely offload to a payment processor. This might even be a clause in your insurance (Depending on what it covers)

        I don’t have any particular software in mind to recommend, but I’d bet they probably have some sort of integration with processors like Stripe or something

          This and medical info I will not self host personally. Try to do due diligence but I let someone else take the blame for a breach.
