What Homebox does
Homebox keeps track of what you own: items with photos, receipts, serial numbers and warranty dates, sorted by location and label.
Handy for insurance claims, moves and the eternal question of where something actually is. QR labels take you from the shelf straight to the entry.
Items with photos, receipts and serial numbers- Locations and labels, nested like your home
- Warranty dates at a glance
- Printable QR codes
Good to know before the first start: The first account you register automatically becomes the administrator.

Common questions
- What does Homebox cost on Podless?
- At the recommended size (0.25 cores · 0.5 GB RAM · 10 GB Storage) about €1.97 a month, billed by the hour. Stop Homebox and you only pay for storage.
- Do I need technical knowledge?
- No. No server, no Docker, no terminal commands. You click start and Homebox runs. Updates are tested on our own instances first and then rolled out.
- Where does my data live?
- In your own Homebox instance on servers in Germany and France; bulk storage sits in Frankfurt. Add your own S3 bucket and we back up there daily, encrypted.
- Can I leave again?
- Homebox is open source and keeps running on your own server. You fetch the files over a time-limited SFTP access and reach the database with the credentials from the dashboard.
