Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Indeed. What you are looking for is a spreadsheet.

Don't overcomplicate things.

its just a spreadsheet, until you want to track what happens to it over time. maintenance, failures, ...

You're just not Spreading hard enough, friend. Excel is like the OG low-code App Dev platform!

Yeah, I've even seen people making presentation slides in Excel. Why ever use anything else? 😉

I once asked somebody for a spreadsheet (they were trying to import the data into my software and it was failing), and got back a .doc file containing a screenshot of Excel running the spreadsheet.

I was in awe of how somebody could misuse so many pieces of software at once.

This is a problem a simple spreadsheet is perfectly adequate for.
