Frequently Asked Questions

? Is OpenOlitor hard to install?

OpenOlitor offers Docker deployment which simplifies setup for most users—pre-configured containers reduce dependency issues. For non-Docker setups, it requires a PHP/MySQL stack and basic web server knowledge (Apache/Nginx). Community docs provide step-by-step guides for both options.

? Is it a good alternative to CSAware?

Yes—OpenOlitor provides core CSA features like member tracking and invoicing but is open-source and self-hosted, avoiding subscription costs. While CSAware has more polished UI and integrations, OpenOlitor allows full customization for unique CSA workflows.

? Is it completely free?

Yes—OpenOlitor is licensed under AGPLv3, so it’s free to use, modify, and self-host with no hidden fees or premium tiers. All features are accessible to all users.
