Homebox

A single-binary home inventory and asset-tracking tool with a clean Vue frontend. Standout trait is its zero-dependency Go+embedded-SQLite deployment model.

βš™ Full Stack

Go backend (Echo/Gin-style REST API) with an embedded SQLite database and a separate Vue 3 SPA frontend. Single static binary ships both together with no external service dependencies.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

Vertical-only scaling β€” embedded SQLite means no multi-writer horizontal scale, but that's a non-issue for its home/small-team use case. Backups are a single-file copy, which is simple but manual unless automated externally.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Deploys as a single pod on Nexlayer with a persistent volume for the SQLite file; no inter-pod DNS needed since it's self-contained. Mirror the Go base image via mirror.gcr.io if the Dockerfile builds from scratch/alpine.
