What OpenBKA does

OpenBKA helps beekeeping associations (BKAs) look after their members and records. It’s open source, and you can either host it yourself or use the hosted version at openbka.org.

Signing in

Section titled “Signing in”

Members sign in with their Open Beekeeping account. OpenBKA has no passwords or login forms of its own; it keeps each person’s account ID, email and name.

Where your data lives

Section titled “Where your data lives”

Member data is stored in Cloudflare’s EU jurisdiction, so it never leaves the EU. That suits UK and EU associations under (UK) GDPR.

Hosted or self-hosted

Section titled “Hosted or self-hosted”
  • Hosted: openbka.org runs OpenBKA for you.
  • Self-hosted: run your own copy on a free Cloudflare account. See Self-hosting.

Licence

Section titled “Licence”

OpenBKA is licensed under the AGPL-3.0-or-later. If you run a modified version as a service for others, you must make your source available to its users.
