WARP
What it is
WARP is a free, open-source, self-hosted system for managing hybrid office space. It handles assigned desks, hot desks, parking stalls, and other reservable areas. Users can book, change, or cancel reservations and check who else is expected in the office. Administrators manage floor maps, zones, groups, and users; zone roles, visibility settings, and seat assignments control access and booking. Subscribable iCal feeds send bookings and reminders to Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or other calendar applications. Users can export past booking reports to Excel and receive automatic notifications. WARP works on mobile and can be installed as a progressive web app. Authentication options include SAML 2.0, LDAP or Active Directory, Azure AD, and generic OIDC. Production deployment uses a container image with PostgreSQL, with published images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. The repository lists an MIT license, and the self-hosted plan is free.
