LibreBooking is an open-source resource scheduling solution for organisations that need to manage bookings for rooms, equipment, and other shared resources. It evolved from Booked Scheduler and ships with a flexible, mobile-friendly interface, role-based access, quotas, and granular reporting — a strong alternative to commercial resource-management platforms.

Key Features

• Multi-resource booking — reserve rooms, equipment, vehicles and more with waitlists
• Role-based access control — administrators, resource admins, group coordinators and users see exactly what they need
• Quotas and credits — set limits and credit systems on reservations per user or group
• Granular usage reporting — track utilisation of every resource over time
• Responsive Bootstrap 5 interface — usable on desktop and mobile
• Custom themes and plugins — colour schemes and a plugin-ready architecture for extensibility
• Calendar integrations — Outlook and Thunderbird via ICS, plus LDAP/Active Directory/OAuth2/SAML auth
• Docker deployment — easy one-command setup with the official container

Why Use LibreBooking?

It gives facilities teams a single, self-hosted place to manage shared resources without per-seat licence fees. Because it is open source and actively maintained, you avoid lock-in and can extend the interface and workflows to fit your organisation.

Use Cases

• Universities and libraries managing rooms, study spaces and equipment
• Offices coordinating meeting rooms, desks and shared hardware
• Community centres and makerspaces reserving facilities
• Any team that shares limited resources and needs transparent booking
