Not sure if this is the exact right terminology, but essentially I’m looking for recommendations for a self-hosted solution (Linux) allowing creation of records for things like car, house, computer etc. with the ability to add notes for things like servicing, upgrades, processes and procedures. A nice to have, but not essential feature, could be a calendar with reminders on upcoming events relating to each asset. I’ve considered setting up a wiki, static site CMS or even just a note taker like Obsidian or LogSeq, but figure there are probably more dedicated tools out there. Also I have little to no experience with those listed, other than static site CMS which I use for work in web development. Thanks in advance for recommendations that are working for you.
Depending on what your exact needs are,but Snipe-IT is surprisingly decent for a Home Asset Management System, even though it is mainly geared towards IT stuff.
Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.
So does homebox and basically ever OSS software mentioned here. BTW: Got some source for that?
Honebox a simple home inventory management software
I use homebox for the assets and a wiki for the procedures. Works well enough. I do wish that rooms could be treated as assets though to help me record things like paint used etc.
As I look into the various recommendations I’m leaning towards something like this. The asset management tools look great for, well, managing assets, but I think a wiki will still be more suited to the level of documentation I want to keep.
While it’s a ressource hog look into xwiki. It is well suited for what you want to do and afaik there I came around a basic asset management plugin once.
I’d look into Lubelogger for vehicles, paperless-ngx for general paperwork, and grocy for everything else.
LubeLogger
Otherwise known as the Diddy. Gotta keep the Astroglide in stock.
Money Manager Ex can track currency and assets in one convenient location, and it even has an Android app
Is GLPI + OCS Inventory still around?
I know Lemmy hates ai. But you could probably vibecode something exactly how you want it in an afternoon
It may be possible to get something usable, but why reinvent the wheel when there are so many tried and tested options out there already? Part of the problem is I don’t know exactly what I want yet, and seeing not only what others are using, but how they’re using it is incredibly helpful. IMO this real world experience isn’t something gen AI can replicate. Thank you for the suggestion though.
Fun thing to do
