In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install the Open Event Server on your NetBSD machine.

Open Event is a platform developed by FOSSASIA that allows you to organize and manage events. Open Event Server provides a RESTful API to access and manage event data. If you want to host your own events, you can do so with Open Event Server.

  1. Navigate to the directory you just cloned:
cd open-event-server
  1. Next, build the Docker image:
