What is CloudRader?

CloudRader is an open-source initiative dedicated to building a connected ecosystem of independent, self-hostable services. We empower organizations, teams, and communities with tools that work reliably on their own, but even better together.

Core Purpose

Modern software suites are frequently monolithic, expensive, or tied to proprietary cloud vendors. CloudRader solves this by providing modular, single-purpose applications designed for self-hosting:

  • Reservium — Room, desk, and shared resource reservation platform.
  • Inventarium — Lightweight organizational asset and equipment tracking (planned).
  • Central Identity — Unified single sign-on across all applications using standard OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers.

Key Principles

  • Self-Hostable by Default: You retain full ownership of your data. Deploy easily anywhere using standard Docker containers.
  • Modular Architecture: Run only the services your organization actually needs—no monolithic lock-in.
  • Open Standards: Fully documented REST APIs with OpenAPI specifications, standardized JSON responses, and open protocols.
  • Transparent Development: Open-source repositories, public roadmaps, and community-driven improvements.
