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?

      While I do agree on the general sentiment to not overcomplicate things, homebox seems rather easy to use and intuitive.

      Being able to create qr code to put them on boxes and also have them directly accessible through the web interface is neat !

      However, there’s one thing that’s quite cumbersome… There isn’t a one button move everything to a new location. Someone already posted a feature request and got some traction :) so cross fingers this going be implemented in the near futur !!

        Yes, I agree, batch moving stuff is important. I haven’t had that problem yet, so let’s hope they add it before I move or something 😅

      Also using Homebox. Quite intuitive UI, not too many features but also not too few. For instance you can upload the receipts, manuals, etc for euch equipment, etc
