The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”.
It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the “shared knowledge”.
So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.

You can self-host https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it or use their system. It definitely more enterprisey/business focused, but would work fine for this request. Can even do automatic email notifications and stuff for device/tool requests. Eg. You have a tool and someone wants it, they can request it and it will fire an email to you that they want it.
