Hardware Assets Inventory Tool

Inventory — hardware asset tracking for IT teams

Self-hosted, MIT licensed, and small enough that the whole install is one container over one directory: track devices, who holds them, and the full ownership history of every one. Every setting has a default, so an instance with no configuration at all runs and its first screen creates your organization — and when one machine stops being enough, `DATABASE_URL` moves the rows to PostgreSQL and `S3_BUCKET` moves the attachments to a bucket, without changing anything else about the app.

• Assets — tag, name, category, serial, status, purchase, warranty, supplier, notes, attachments and any custom fields you define. Filters live in the URL, so a filtered view is a link you can send someone.
• Employees — the people who hold devices. Separate from the accounts that sign in, optionally linked to them, because most staff never need a login.
• Ownership history — who had what, when, and how it came back. Held in one table that is the only truth about it; an asset's status and its open ownership record cannot disagree.
• Custom statuses and workflow — the statuses an asset can be in are yours, not ours: an admin adds, renames, recolours and reorders them, and draws the moves between them as a checkbox matrix with a live diagram beside it. The API enforces the graph, so taking an edge off it stops that move being offered and stops it being accepted.
