HomeBox (SysAdminsMedia)

HomeBox provides a self‑hosted inventory system aimed at personal users who want to catalog and manage household items. It stores data locally using SQLite (or Postgres for larger setups) and offers a web UI that works on desktops, tablets and smartphones. The core functionality includes organizing items by categories, locations and tags, attaching photos and documents, tracking purchase dates, prices and maintenance schedules, and generating QR codes for quick lookup. Search and filtering are built‑in, and users can define custom fields and reusable item templates.

The application is written in Go, resulting in low resource consumption; idle memory usage stays under 50 MB, and it can be deployed via Docker, bare metal or other platforms. It supports multiple collections within a single instance, making it suitable for tracking items across different households or groups. Advanced features such as OIDC single sign‑on, multi‑user access, a REST API, CSV import/export and health‑check endpoints are available for power users.

HomeBox is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license, is free forever, and requires no subscription. All code is open source, allowing users full control over their data and the ability to modify or extend the system as needed.
