The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”.
It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the “shared knowledge”.
So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.
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.
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.
I’ve heard good things about grocy not sure if it fits your case
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.

Self.Hosted.
Pretty sure Google docs are the opposite of that.

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.
