Item detail
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Homebox is the popular open source, self-hosted home and asset inventory manager. Track what you own, where it is, what it cost and when it needs maintenance, organised by nested locations, tags and labels, with photo and document attachments, QR and asset labels, CSV import and export and a clean web interface. This image delivers Homebox fully installed and configured, so a private inventory is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Homebox 0.25.
Application Stack The Homebox server - a single Go binary that serves both the REST API and the embedded web app - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. SQLite is the datastore, a single self-contained file with no separate database server to manage. The server and its data bind to the loopback interface; nginx terminates on port 80.
Secure By Default Homebox has no built-in administrator and no default password. The first person to register becomes the owner. Every instance therefore boots to the Homebox first-run registration screen on a freshly emptied database, where you create your own administrator account. No shared or default credentials ship in the image. After you have registered, the user guide shows how to disable open registration.
Ready To Use Register your administrator, create your first storage location, then start adding items with their value, purchase date, warranty and photos. Generate QR or asset labels, import an existing inventory from CSV and track maintenance schedules.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat for deployment, upgrades, integrations, TLS termination, backups and data migration.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Homebox is served on port 80 through nginx (the server listens on 127.0.0.1:7745). Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ - the first visit shows the registration screen. Create your administrator by entering a name, email and password; you are then signed in. The status endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/api/v1/status is open and returns JSON. Services are managed with systemctl (homebox, nginx). To disable further registrations after you have created your account, set HBOX_OPTIONS_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false in /etc/homebox/homebox.env and restart homebox; the user guide covers this and enabling HTTPS with Let's Encrypt.
