A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

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…
Grocy is a neat project for stuff like this. Also available as a HomeAssistant add-on, if that’s your style
Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.
Snipe-IT: https://snipeitapp.com/
You can self-host https://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.
I’ve heard good things about grocy not sure if it fits your case
Trillium. Excellent, searchable, tool for interlinked data, plus (decently strong, depending on you) password encryption for tree branches.
I’ve also had this idea in the back of my mind…. Curious what people suggest…
Just a wiki with a decent search. For example Wiki.js.
A Google sheet with a Google form to collect data.
Self.Hosted.
Pretty sure Google docs are the opposite of that.
OP said:
Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.
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.
