Rental System?

Hello there,

I’m looking for a self-hosted rental system. It’s for a smaller institution, which is renting out hardware (for free and non-commercial use), and the current system (EasyJob) is way too bloated.

The service should be publishable to the internet, ideally hostable via Docker or a ProxMox VM, and should have a user-management.

I was thinking about using something like an e-commerce service?

Do you have a good idea regarding this topic?

Best regards

What about asset management software, like snipe-it? Or are you trying for payment in there too?

I can see your comment in my profile though. Weird.

So, I’ve set up a Snipe-IT instance to play around, and test some stuff.

What I’m lacking or failed to set up properly, is something like a calendar, where assigned assets and their expected return dates are shown.

There is nothing native (though a few options have been played with, AFAIK never completed because…), but there are a ton of integrations. You can use webhooks to teams, there are python wrappers for the API, even a google docs integration.

Probably the lowest code option would be to find someone else’s tool for snipe-it (sorry I’ve never looked), or do something like snipe it to google sheets to be imported as a CSV or something.

Or take a peek at some others in the same territory, or maybe ticketing systems with simple asset management.

But i think something like snipe-it, if not exactly, is going to be the right territory of what you’re looking for

Thank you for your thoughts, I will continue to tinker around with snipe-it.

Cannot see your comment on my instance, @curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com , but I checked it through another instance.

I don’t want to set up payment, I’ll look into snipe-it, thank you!

I’ve found Leihs which looks exactly like what we’re looking for, but I’m struggling with the setup. Has anybody experience with Ansible and maybe with the setup of Leihs?
