What is it?

Koillection is a self-hosted web service for cataloguing physical collections. It is built for any kind of collection rather than one fixed category, so users can track books, DVDs, stamps, games or anything else they own.

It does not ship with automatic metadata downloads. Instead, users can add their own metadata fields to items, or write a custom HTML scraper to pull information from websites. Installation, updating and scraping are documented in the project wiki.

The application runs on PHP and Symfony and works with PostgreSQL, MariaDB and MySQL. Its interface has been translated into many languages, including Simplified Chinese.
