I believe it’s a way away from consumerism if you don’t own everything yourself and share things with people nearby.
I’m looking for a selfhostable (docker-compose) project where everybody can easily add items (maybe with a link to a manual) and the borrowing stuff is manged.
OIDC is a plus because it’s to great with pocket-id.
You could probably use Homebox for this use case. It allows for locations to be configured, attach receipts/maintenance reminders/manuals, etc. Also has OIDC, invite links, and more. I use it to maintain my home inventory of stuff. I think you can also have separate inventories per person/group as well as shared ones within the same instance.
https://sqstorage.net/ could be used for that. Just add storages corresponding to the various locations where the items actually are and add meta information like the owner.
So what’s wrong with a calendar and notifications?
Sounds a lot like a library system.
The phrase to use is Tool Library. I don’t know of any open source offerings, but this may work. I haven’t tried it

Yes, but you break it - you buy it. That seems to be the sticky wicket.
I’ve been toying with this idea, items are classified as “new or perfect condition” “used but good condition” " near or EOL"
If you return it in the lower tier, you pay the owner a third of the value.
Are you interested in hosting this for people you already know and trust, like friends and neighbors, or am I misunderstanding your use case?
I’ve never tried it myself, but maybe see if Snipe-IT would work for your needs?
From their docs intro:
Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on - although we’ve definitely seen folks using for non-IT asset tracking as well. Oil rigs, theater equipment, even human body parts! (We didn’t ask too many questions about that last one.)
Unfortunately it doesn’t support OIDC.
Koillection might fit!
