What is it?

LibreBooking is a self-hosted resource scheduling application. Organizations use it to let people reserve shared resources, with booking, waitlists and quotas or credits to control how those resources are used. It is a fork of Booked Scheduler, which was last open-sourced in 2020, and has been developed independently since then.

Administrators can set role-based access control and generate usage reports, while users get a responsive Bootstrap 5 interface with DataTables-based listings. Calendar entries can be shared with Outlook or Thunderbird through ICS files. Themes and colour schemes can be changed in configuration, and the architecture is designed for plugins.

The application is written in PHP and requires PHP 8.2 or later with MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+. Apache is the officially supported web server, and a Docker deployment is also available. Authentication options mentioned in the project include LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2 and SAML.
