Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a system that:
- I can self host
- Is slim, because I don’t have beefy hardware (Intel J5040, 32GB RAM, shared by all VMs/containers)
- can be used to create an inventory of all the tech/hardware that I have in my house (not exclusively IT, I also wasn’t to track things like warranty for my chainsaws and the like)
- does take at least the device make/model, serial number (for insurance cases) and warranty dates
- is not some kind of enterprise-how-many-items-of-this-article-do-i-have-in-stock-things, because that seems to be the only thing I seem to be able to find, and they neither match my use case nor do they seem to be lightweight enough.
… and honestly, I don’t even know where to start looking. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Of course, I could just use a spreadsheet, but where’s the fun in that?
I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.
Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.
The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most
Well, I do have a PaperlessNGX already, so I could use a custom field for SerialNo or something like that, but I just feel like PNGX isn’t really designed for this task.
