Seatsurfing is a software which enables your organisation's employees to book seats, desks and rooms.

This repository contains the Backend, which consists of:

  • The Server (REST API Backend) written in Go
  • User Self-Service Booking Web Interface ("Booking UI"), built as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) which can be installed on mobile devices
  • Admin Web Interface ("Admin UI")
  • Common TypeScript files for the two TypeScript/React web frontends

Please refer to our Kubernetes documentation.

Environment variables

Please check out the documentation for information on available environment variables and further guidance.

Hint: When running in an IPV6-only Docker/Podman environment with multiple network interfaces bound to the Frontend containers, setting the LISTEN_ADDR environment variable can be necessary as NextJS binds to only one network interface by default. Set it to :: to bind to any address.
