Saw this post on another site:
If you previously did not our mini announcement HomeBox was archived by the original author. We are working to continue the project ourselves. This release is mostly just switching things over to our namespace and getting a docker image published for people to switch over to, but also contains some minor bug fixes.
What is HomeBox
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, with the 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.
v0.11.0 Changes
- Fixes improper int parsing (64 bit int being converted into a 32 bit int)
- Fixes CSV being exported as a TSV
- Switches the Go namespace to the github.com/sysadminsmedia/homebox one
- All new docker publishing Github Actions
- Docs switched to vitepress and published to new domain https://homebox.sysadminsmedia.com
Contributing
We are accepting any type of contribution, including bug reports, feature requests, PRs, etc. if your interested. We firmly believe that open source software lives and dies by its community, and we’re hoping that you’ll join us on this journey as we figure things out and make HomeBox great.
For Those Switching
If your planning to switch from the original image to this one, please make sure you backup your existing data. And then you can simply switch the docker image to ours, and all of your data should be right where you left it when you start the docker container.
Nice, didn’t know about HomeBox. Are there other good inventory systems for home use?
I used homebox but switched over to nocodb
Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven’t tried homebox to compare yet though
Will take a look - I’ve been kicking around the possibility of writing something quick and dirty to track my rapidly growing fountain pen hobby, what ink is in which pen, grade/size of paper on hand, and the like.
I’d much prefer using something that exists already, less distraction with design choices and bugs = more time to enjoy the hobby itself.
31 branches? uh… okay.
It’s like 31 Flavors, but less efficient.
Thanks for the heads-up. I am running homebox on my system and didn’t know that it was archived.
