What is it?

Part-DB is a self-hosted inventory system for electronic components. It runs on a web server and is accessed through any browser, so no client software is needed. Parts can be organized by category, footprint, manufacturer, store location, price and tags, with datasheets and pictures attached to each part.

Beyond basic stock tracking, it includes project management where parts are assigned to a bill of materials to show how many units can be built and to withdraw the required components. It also offers barcode and label generation, an event log with the ability to revert parts to earlier versions, and fine-grained user permissions with two-factor authentication. Part data can be pulled from suppliers such as Digikey, Farnell, LCSC and TME, and KiCad integration lets KiCad read available parts from the database.

The project is built on Symfony and supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite. It is installed with Composer and Yarn or via a Docker image.
