TiniVault is a lightweight, self-hosted family asset management system built on one simple idea: everything is an item. Whether it's a washing machine, a warranty PDF, a receipt, or an insurance policy — it's all an item that you can:
Tag for easy categorisation (e.g., #appliances, #warranty, #documents)
Getting up and running takes just a few minutes. First, deploy TiniVault on your own server using Docker:
bash
docker compose up -d
See the Self-Hosting guide for the full docker-compose.yml and environment setup.
Once running:
Open TiniVault at your server's address (e.g., http://your-server:3000)
Log in with your username and password (Default credentials: admin / admin — please change these immediately!)
Change your password — click your name in the top-right corner → Change Password
Create your first item — click the + button to open the New Item dialog
Add tags to organise your items (e.g., create a #warranty tag)
Use search to find items — the search bar is always available at the top
First-time setup
Before adding items, consider setting up a few tags (like #documents, #appliances) and templates (like "Appliance" with warranty fields). This makes creating items much faster!
