TAConnect is an open-source, fully self-hostable platform that streamlines office hours management for Teaching Assistants and students. Built with modern technologies, it offers conflict-free booking, real-time analytics, and a beautiful user experience.
"Maximize Your Learning. Minimize the Wait."
TAConnect is designed to be completely self-hostable with no external dependencies or vendor lock-in. You have full control:
- Deploy anywhere: Your own server, cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP), or your institution's infrastructure
- Complete data ownership: All data stays on your servers - no third-party services required
- Privacy first: No tracking, no analytics sent to external services
- Free to use: Use it for free for any purpose (academic, personal, or institutional)
- Easy setup: One-command Docker deployment or manual installation
Whether you're a university IT department, a small academic institution, or an individual TA, you can run TAConnect on your own infrastructure with complete autonomy. See the Setup Guide for detailed deployment instructions.
