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?

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the engaged discussion and all the suggestions, you’re the best!

      I think Apache has an enterprise resource planning software, but it’s exactly as complex as you’d expect enterprise erp
