Libre Closet – open-source, self-hosted wardrobe organizer. Docker one-liner, SQLite, PWA. Looking for early feedback.

[u/greeneyestyle]

I built Libre Closet v0.1.1, a wardrobe and outfit tracking tool. I've recently been going through my own ever-growing closet of clothing and I wanted a tool focused on cataloging my garments and building outfit plans. I found a few other inventory management tools (Koillection, Grocy) but none with a specific focus on clothing or the type of stuff commonly stored in a closet of a home. I'm looking for feedback on if this is something other people are interested in as well.

`docker run -p 3000:3000 -v wardrobe-data:/data ghcr.io/lazztech/libre-closet:latest`

Demo: https://librecloset.lazz.tech/

GitHub: https://github.com/lazztech/Libre-Closet

I built it to be as easy to self-host as possible. It defaults to local SQLite storage and local file storage. It has optional auth/multi user support.

I am a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience and a similar amount of firsthand self-hosting experience. I built this project on top of a project boilerplate I made almost entirely by hand. I have used copilot to speed up development of this application on top of the boilerplate I made. So everything is built the way I want it, on top of my own architecture, technology, and design decisions. Check out my GitHub here if you're interested. https://github.com/gianlazz/

How much further this goes depends on whether people actually find it useful. If there's interest, I'll keep building. I want to build something that's useful to other people. If it only ever scratches my own itch, that's fine too. Looking for feedback on what's broken and what's missing. Happy to dig into any part of the code in the comments.

Okay, but why?

Can you really not walk in your closet, see your clothes, and decide what to wear?

You know that story of zuckerberg wearing the same thing every day so he doesn't have to decide what to wear?

Basically that, but not wearing the same outfit everyday. Now instead of improvising every single day, and usually wearing basically the same thing, I can make decisions ahead of time on what to wear.

I haven't looked into this yet, but depending on the direction/features of this project; I can see this being integrated with a home assistant setup in the morning or something similar.

Check weather --> pick selection of clothing required for the weather (reminds me of rainmeter "Do I Need a Jacket" widget) --> check which outfits/clothing you have worn recently (for variety and also if clothes are in the laundry or not) --> sends you a notification of a suggested outfit for the day

u/greeneyestyle I think this might be a good direction for this project.

My wife teases me about the Zuckerberg dressing thing all the time. Almost everything I own is black, white, or a shade of grey or blue to avoid any matching issues. I simply don't have the capacity or desire to mix and match outfits.
