Administrator documentation

You want to install pretalx on your own server? That’s great! We have documentation for a standard installation using pip on Linux.

If you want a more out-of-the-box way of running pretalx, please consider our hosted version at pretalx.com. Other than that, we also have an ansible role and a community-provided docker-compose setup. Please note that the docker setup is not officially supported.
