I promised planned maintenance and then kept going — parts, purchasing, a Kanban work-order hub, twice-daily network scans. A candid update on my home-grown CMMS: what it became, how much of it I built alongside an AI, and why the code is finally coming out of its private repo.
Ordering campervan plumbing parts online is a mess of bad catalogues and useless AI chatbots. A nostalgic case for the hardware shop expert who just knew.
Why I ditched SaaS maintenance apps and built a self-hosted home CMMS in Python, FastAPI and SQLite — tracking 100+ assets across the house, workshop and barn.
