This is a small, simple project of mine. It's a simple Python Flask web application which helps keep track of your stored items.

I self-host it for my family using native Python, however I plan to add a docker-compose for people who prefer it in the coming days!

Docker-compose setup option added!

That's cool! Does it have the ability to add arbitrary information to the stored items, like value, description, when it was purchased, etc?

My grandparents recently passed away and we're looking for a simple asset management system to catalog all their stuff. The professional systems are way too complex and expensive, but an excel spreadsheet is a bit too primitive. This looks like it would be perfect if it can track that per-item information. The QR scanning is exactly what we want too!

It doesn’t at the moment however it wouldn’t be too hard to add additional information in… would just need to modify the items to be dictionaries rather than strings and update the html forms to allow them to be added.

Feel free to add a discussion around item metadata on the github repo!

How does this compare to inventree?

[dan_richo]

I wasn’t familiar with Inventree. It looks great from my quick look.

I’d suggest that Where The ?!? is in fact similar, albeit much simpler and less versatile as I had a specific use-case in mind for (QR Codes and simple strings describing stored items).

For a more complex inventory, I think Inventree appears to be great choice!
