Homebox v0.14.1 - Released

What is Homebox

Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project, we’ve tried to keep the following principles in mind:

  • Simple - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice.
  • Blazingly Fast - Homebox is written in Go, which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
  • Portable - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.

The Update

This update contains many fixes, and small resolutions, but it also contains a HUGE update in terms of making Homebox more accessible to international users. We’ve finally added i18n support to Homebox, allowing users to use Homebox in their own language. It’s still early days, we’ve translated the majority of the main pages, and we continue working on it.

To use translations, simply open Homebox, it’s really that simple, it will use whatever the default language setting your browser is set to use. And fallback to English if your preferred language isn’t yet available. If your language isn’t yet available, please consider contributing. For those that have already contributed, both those named, and those that don’t have your GitHub linked in Weblate (and thus don’t appear in commit messages to mention) thank you so much, we couldn’t possible translate Homebox into so many languages ourselves. Please note that we are still on a transition phase, and many strings are still hard coded to English. We continue to work on translating the entire application.

Additionally, we purchased the https://homebox.software domain to give Homebox a home of its own on the internet. Which should not only make it more findable for SEO reasons, but also make it easier to remember the link to the documentation/home page. Additionally, we setup some sub-domains to redirect to various sites such as https://git.homebox.software for Github, https://discord.homebox.software to go to our Discord server, etc.
