Selfhosted

Snipe it is hardcore overkill for this need. I started using it a couple weeks ago since I have lots of tech, but it's made for large businesses, or multiple businesses. Technically yeah one can use it, but it's cumbersome and a bit frustrating to get started/figure things out.

I want to add a smart coffee maker? Okay I'll just get the serial and - oh I haven't entered this model before, lets add it. Oh I can't, because I haven't entered anything by Honeywell yet, time to back out and add all the details of the company. Now lets go back and enter that serial again. Now we can add the model details. Let's grab a photo. Oh, the fucking system has a known issue that it limits uploads to 2MB? And adjusting it in docker doesn't work even though it should? Let's stop the container and go into the damn host filesystem to edit the php file that has the solution you will only find on a github discussion from 5 years ago. Now start the container and add an asset and enter the serial and set the model and set the company and upload the picture and why does the warranty length box only take months and I need to mark it as ready for deployment and holy fuck it's taken 45 minutes...

And no, none of this was hyperbole. Once I know these stupid quirks, 5 minutes to grab data and enter, but shit especially the filesize issue, 5 years and no fix? Oh and guess what you'll be searching for online after watchtower pulls an update and you forgot to note that fix in the docker-compose file? Mmmhm, that fix gets overwritten with every update.
