We installed the software and started to populate it. After a while we experienced login problems. For some mysterious reason, some users can only login to it from one computer but when they try it from a different computer using the same credentials then it fails. Documentation is poor - when we go to the Wiki, the FAQ pages are not available? The discussion page is also empty. We could not find a user manual. We are looking for other options.
Running on Ubuntu 16.04LTS server. It works very well. We wrote some aditional php web-page functions to directly access the MYSQL database to implement a few additional functions. Because it is open source it is relatively easy to modify for specific extra functions. Fast FREE and not encumbered by proprietary stuff, adverts or forcing you to divulge company data to an online service. Easy to do backups and clone to other machines. A really useful tool. It is a good idea if the administrator has a basic competance in Linux and web/php admin. Overall very good.

As for keeping track of them we use a spreadsheet where I work but did look into both PartKeepr and PartsBox. Both have good and bits but PartsBox seems better, it’s also free for hobbyists. Source: over 2 years ago
I believe that PartKeepr is designed for pretty much this use case. Electronic part management, or just inventory management of significant number of parts on a mass scale. Source: over 2 years ago
3) For inventory/asset management, look at Partkeeper, Snipeit, or perhaps Odoo. I've used Partkeeper at home, it is designed to keep track of physical parts and is very flexible. Snipeit is designed for computer/IT assets but may be able to be adjusted to your needs. Odoo looks promising and they have free versions of all types of integrated business software, but it will always be limited and designed to push... Source: over 2 years ago
If you're looking for a complete solution now then I'd recommend PartKeepr. I use it to manage my inventory and have written a very basic guide on self-hosting it on an Unraid server. Source: almost 3 years ago
