Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project I’ve tried to keep the following principles in mind:
Simple - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container, or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice.
Blazingly
Fast - Homebox is written in Go which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
Portable - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.
Homebox is an inventory management system in the same vein as Snipe-IT, but purpose built to be simpler and cause less friction so that you’re more inclined to enter things and keep them up to date. You can use it for things like storing user guides, warranty contracts and expirations, and even expense tracking related to the maintenance and repair of any home items, like appliances and electronics. I use it to store warranty expirations for things like game consoles and TVs, as well as remind me to order new air filters for the home.
Seems neat. I wish there were a way to add custom fields; I would totally use this to keep track of my liquor cabinet contents. (I use a spreadsheet for this now.)
I know it’s not the general use case this though, but that didn’t keep me from getting my hopes up haha.

This is super cool! The giant OCD nerd inside is going to go nuts while cataloging my entire home.
Yeah this is right up my alley. Can’t wait to install this and document everything.
I am very paranoid about security, so is there a reason you deter people from using this application in a Docker container per your website?
Sorry friend, this isn’t my project I’m just sharing it. That being said I totally run this in a docker container.
Unfortunate name collision with another project related to self-hosting: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox
The website could use one or two screenshots of important features without having to login to the demo.
Painting the window is noticeably slow (Firefox ESR 102), have you tested it with Firefox?
Other than that, well done! It looks good and well maintained. I wanted to evaluate Snipe-IT someday, maybe I will also give this a try
Dude, this is sick AF. I deployed snipe IT and found it was just too much. I can’t wait to try this out!

You might be in luck, I see this under optional settings for items:
Apparently I didn’t dig deep enough! Thanks a lot for the heads up.
This looks amazing. I’ve been looking for a replacement for Delicious Library for a long time and this looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Thx for sharing!
