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?

Not at all, I like .md, and I'm familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an .md...

I use markdown too, except I keep the markdown file in a self-hosted wiki (wiki.js)

It's versioned and accepts git as a backend

I'm looking for something that can automatically handle markdown tables for me in git. If an application can do that then I can get off excel/LibreOffice calc.

I haven't searched about this so I don't know, but it'd be cool if there were a way to import/export markdown tables into LibreOffice

That is the reason Markdown and Git are used for a lot shenanigans these days. Knowledge bases, awesome-lists, documentations. You name it.

If you got the right tools (sphinx, typora, mkdocs, …obsidian) you got a powerful toolchain.
