[Solved] Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a system that:

I can self host
Is slim, because I don't have beefy hardware (Intel J5040, 32GB RAM, shared by all VMs/containers)
can be used to create an inventory of all the tech/hardware that I have in my house (not exclusively IT, I also wasn't to track things like warranty for my chainsaws and the like)
does take at least the device make/model, serial number (for insurance cases) and warranty dates
is not some kind of enterprise-how-many-items-of-this-article-do-i-have-in-stock-things, because that seems to be the only thing I seem to be able to find, and they neither match my use case nor do they seem to be lightweight enough.

... and honestly, I don't even know where to start looking. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Of course, I could just use a spreadsheet, but where's the fun in that?

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the engaged discussion and all the suggestions, you're the best!

@DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works we've recently deployed Netbox which seems to somewhat do what you want, although its more targetted towards datacenter and network engineers (and maybe not lightweight enough for you?)

If you really need nothing special then maybe a good ol' spreadsheet is a better solution for you.

Yep, maybe it really is. I just wanted to see of there's something nicer out there before settling.

I think I recall seeing Netbox a while ago, and I remember thinking that it would be something I'd like to use at work, but we already have idoit there (which I hate passionately).
