What Roomer is

Roomer is a self-hosted platform for managing desk and asset reservations across offices, buildings, and floors. Its editor accepts image, PDF, and DXF floor plans and lets administrators position assets on an interactive canvas. Users can check live availability, book by date, make recurring bookings, join waitlists, or set permanent assignments. Administration includes buildings, floors, zones, delegated managers, and role-based access. Sign-in options include local accounts, LDAP, OIDC, and SAML; SCIM 2.0 handles user and group provisioning. Roomer also supports SMTP notifications, CSV import, and outbound webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256. Its REST API is under `/api/v1` and uses session authentication rather than a separate API-key system. Deployment options include Docker Compose and Kubernetes with an included Helm chart. The AGPL-3.0 project can be self-hosted at no cost, but each instance is single-tenant with one organisation record. Setup requires a session secret and AES-256 key for authentication-provider secrets at rest; production HTTPS is recommended. Floor plan uploads default to a 20 MB maximum.
