Homebox

Homebox is an inventory and organization system for your home.

Description

It is designed to be simple, fast, and easy to use. It helps you keep track of your belongings, where they are, and what they are worth.

When to use it

  • When you need a simple, fast inventory system for home use.
  • When you want to track belongings, warranties, and purchase dates without complex overhead.

When not to use it

  • When you need complex multi-user permissions or enterprise-grade asset management.
  • When you require deep integration with e-commerce or point-of-sale systems.

Getting started

Docker

To run Homebox using Docker:

docker run -d \
  --name homebox \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --publish 3100:7745 \
  -v /path/to/data:/data \
  ghcr.io/sysadminsmedia/homebox:latest

Access the web interface at http://localhost:3100.

CLI examples

Management is primarily via the web UI, but you can use docker exec for basic tasks:

# View container logs
docker logs homebox

# Check Homebox version
docker exec homebox /app/homebox --version

API examples

Homebox provides a REST API for data interaction. Use a Bearer token if authentication is enabled:
