Thinking of building a database of "stuff" that I have at home + some other family households. Multiple accounts with private and shared inventories.

The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”.

It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the “shared knowledge”.

So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.

A Google sheet with a Google form to collect data.

Self.Hosted.

Pretty sure Google docs are the opposite of that.

I responded with the quickest, simplest, cheapest solution currently available. It provides all requested functionality and didn’t include a requirement that OP indicated was optional.

Ah, I stand corrected.

I’ve also had this idea in the back of my mind…. Curious what people suggest…

I’ve heard good things about grocy not sure if it fits your case

Homebox - before we relocate - whenever that is, I will be printing labels and putting them under and behind my stuff, scanning it into there and then will use that to keep track of our items after the move to know what is in which box etc.

NocoDB Self Hosted (I use this for a few things) - started out with my network ip’s I have on my servers and ports for my containers and most recently a sleep log.

Just a couple there.

Hm. NocoDB looks interesting.

Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though

Ive started using homebox and i like it. Granted, i only use it for myself right now, not sure how it works for multiple people and public vs private repos

Already some good suggestions here but adding Grist if you want more of a smart spreadsheet solution…

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca on 25 Apr 01:27 next collapse

Just a wiki with a decent search. For example Wiki.js.

4am@lemm.ee on 25 Apr 01:49 next collapse

Grocy is a neat project for stuff like this. Also available as a HomeAssistant add-on, if that’s your style

unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de on 25 Apr 07:31 collapse

Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.

Snipe-IT: snipeitapp.com

You can self-host github.com/snipe/snipe-it or use their system. It definitely more enterprisey/business focused, but would work fine for this request. Can even do automatic email notifications and stuff for device/tool requests. Eg. You have a tool and someone wants it, they can request it and it will fire an email to you that they want it.

Trillium. Excellent, searchable, tool for interlinked data, plus (decently strong, depending on you) password encryption for tree branches.
