About the project
Plant-it is a self-hosted gardening companion app. Useful for keeping track of plant care, receiving notifications about when to water plants, uploading plant images, and more.
About this release:
Highlights In this release, we’ve made significant improvements to both the app and server, focusing on performance, notifications, and overall user experience. One of the most notable changes is the switch from Ubuntu to Alpine as the base Docker image for the server, resulting in a much smaller image size, which should lead to faster deployments and lower resource usage. We’ve also introduced Gotify notifications across both the app and server, providing alerts to keep you informed. Additionally, we’ve addressed various small fixes and enhancements to improve stability and usability.
This sounds super cool, I’ve been looking for something to keep track of my plants! Gonna try this
So is this more like a gardening journal? Or is this something that you can connect any sensors to track moisture level, etc?
Reading through the main page for it, it seems more like a smart journal. You’d enter your crops, and enter info about water/treatment information, and it’ll send notifications as reminders to do tasks, but it doesn’t determine water and care schedules for you, that’s something the user sets up (from what I understand at least).
Cool! As soon as the plant identity database is selfhostavle I’ll be digging into this!
Hmm, I tried it out after seeing this but I’m not really much of a fan of the mobile-first approach. I’ve moved on to HortusFox and it’s more what I was expecting.
My wife is the one who’ll be using it though, so we’ll see if she likes it.
