Open-source facility management software

Other options worth considering

GLPI is particularly mature and actively developed, but its core focus is IT asset/service management rather than physical facilities.help.glpi-project.org

If I were setting up a facility-management system today, I'd start with openMAINT. One caveat: it's self-hosted and has a fairly substantial server stack (PostgreSQL, Tomcat, Java, etc.), so it's more of a real application deployment than a simple Docker container.www.openmaint.org

If you tell me what kind of facility you manage (e.g. apartments, commercial buildings, school, hospital, manufacturing plant, church, etc.), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 open-source options and compare their features, Docker support, mobile apps, and ease of installation.

openMAINT

• What it does: It is an enterprise-grade, open-source facility and property management system (derived from the CMDBuild framework). It handles both real estate assets (buildings, rooms, spaces) and movable inventory/technical plants, alongside scheduled and breakdown maintenance workflows.openmaint.org+2
• Key Features:
  • Property and space inventory tracking.
  • Maintenance work order management (both preventative and corrective).
  • Integrations with spatial and geographic data tools like GIS and BIM (Building Information Modeling).
  • Customizable workflow engines to match your organization's specific approval routing.medium.com+2
• Best for: Organizations with internal IT or developer resources that want a fully self-hosted, highly customizable solution without licensing fees.upflex.com+1

Alternative: Open-Source CMMS (Maintenance-Focused)

If your facility management needs lean heavily toward equipment upkeep, work orders, and asset tracking rather than full real estate/space management, you might look at lightweight open-source CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) software like:

• Atlas CMMS: A popular self-hosted, open-source option focused on tracking equipment history, scheduling preventative maintenance, and managing floor-level work orders.reddit.com

Note: While open-source software is free to download and use under its license, keep in mind that self-hosting requires managing your own server infrastructure, updates, and initial configuration.freemaint.com

If you'd like to narrow this down, tell me:

• Are you looking to manage entire buildings/real estate spaces or mostly equipment and repair work orders?
• Do you prefer a self-hosted open-source tool or a free cloud-based alternative?
