-partkeepr

-homebox (will replace partkeepr)

Can you share your partkeepr compose file? I tried bought options I found on the web and neither one works. I realize now that it might not be the best project to start with since it already has not been updated for about four years and its unlikely that it will be.

Since you chose HomeBox as an alternative, can you share your thoughts on it?

The last time I chose the app for it I went for InvenTree, but I see that I am not using it very often because of the many steps one has to take to add a new part>! (the most annoying for me as a home user is that you can't add missing values to connected tables without leaving the table you are in; for example, I am creating a part, hm, I miss the category for this part, I have to get out, go to categories, create a new category, get back to the part and continue adding, same goes for a manufacturer, supplier, ... sure I understand that it is a multi-user environment where the person entering the new part might not have the privilege to add a new inventory location, but from a perspective of a home user it is annoying)!<.

So, it gets used less than desired and I am still looking for an adequate alternative before I spend hours upon hours adding my data to it.

Can you share your Partkeepr compose file? I tried in the last two days both options I could find on the web, and neither one worked.

- Partkeepr as an inventory management system to keep track of my companies inventory

Interesting! Have you by any chance tried Inventree?

I have an instance of Inventree, and I have been filling it slowly and using it, but it seems too bulky for my needs. At first glance, Partkeepr seems a much simpler and less ERP-like solution.

I need a simple solution that would help me find an answer to questions like: do I have a part, do I have something similar, where is it stored, how to use it, how much have I paid for it; and Partkeepr seems to cover it all.
