Organization Setup

This guide will walk you through setting up and configuring the organizations feature for your self-hosted Cal.com instance. Organizations allow you to create branded, multi-tenant environments within your Cal.com deployment.

​

Prerequisites

Before setting up organizations, ensure you have:

• A working Cal.com instance already installed and running
• Admin access to your Cal.com instance
• Access to modify environment variables and restart your server

​

Step 1: Enable Organizations Feature

1. Login as admin using [email protected]
2. Navigate to Settings → Admin → Features
3. Turn on the Organizations feature flag under the Features section

​

Step 2: Configure Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables in your .env file:

NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL=http://app.cal.local:3000
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_URL=http://app.cal.local:3000
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://app.cal.local:3000
ORGANIZATIONS_ENABLED=1

​

Step 3: Configure Local DNS

Add the following entry to your hosts file to enable local access:

127.0.0.1 app.cal.local

Host file locations:

• Linux/Mac: /etc/hosts
• Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

​

Step 4: Start/Restart Development Server

After making the configuration changes, start/restart your development server:

yarn dev

​

Step 5: Create an Organization

1. Login using [email protected] (or any user account)
2. Visit http://app.cal.local:3000/settings/organizations/new
3. Follow the onboarding steps:
   • Choose a slug for the organization(say myorg)
   • Ignore pricing information (not required for self-hosting)
   • Complete the first step (remaining steps can be skipped for now)

​

Accessing Your Organization

Now if everything above went well, all booking pages for the organization will be accessible at:

http://myorg.cal.local:3000/{CAL_LINK}
