Description

## Homebox by cloudimg

Homebox is the popular open source, self-hosted home and asset inventory manager. Track what you own, where it is, what it cost and when it needs maintenance, organised by nested locations, tags and labels, with photo and document attachments, QR and asset labels, CSV import and export and a clean web interface. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Homebox fully installed and configured, so a private inventory is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Homebox 0.25.

## Application Stack

The Homebox server - a single Go binary that serves both the REST API and the embedded web app - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. SQLite is the datastore, a single self-contained file with no separate database server to manage. The server and its data bind to the loopback interface.

## Secure First Boot

Homebox has no built-in administrator and no default password - the first person to register becomes the owner. Every instance boots to the Homebox first-run registration screen on a freshly emptied database, where you create your own administrator account. No shared or default credentials ship in the image. After registering, the user guide shows how to disable open registration.

## Ready To Use

Register your administrator, create your first storage location, then start adding items with their value, purchase date, warranty and photos. Generate QR or asset labels, import an existing inventory from CSV and track maintenance schedules.
