The record

Purpose: Libki manages time-limited computer access, reservations, and sessions on a network, for settings such as libraries and school computer labs.
Administration: Administrators can manage users and session time, message or ban users, and monitor which client computers are in use or available through a web interface.
Reservations: Users can access computers first-come-first-served, by reservation, or through a combination of both.
Client behavior: The client shows remaining time, lets users log off early, and can be configured to log off the operating system or reboot when a session ends.
Integrations: Libki supports SIP2 and LDAP single sign-on; its manual describes SIP2 configuration for Koha and Evergreen hold notifications.
Print management: Libki can provide print management for controlled clients or through file uploads to the server.
Access controls: With SIP2 single sign-on, access can be restricted using patron status flags, fees, age groups, and other configured fields.
Client platforms: The client runs on Windows and Linux; the maker says Windows has an installer and other operating systems require compiling from source.
Security: The server does not have native SSL support; the manual recommends using a reverse proxy that supports SSL termination.
Data retention: Administrators can configure history anonymization and retention, and automatic deletion of inactive users; leaving the retention settings empty keeps data indefinitely.
Support: The maker directs users to mailing lists, documentation, and GitHub issue trackers; it also says support or development services may be purchased, without listing prices.
Audience: Libki is positioned for controlled public-access computing, including libraries and school computer laboratories.
Price from: Free
