For those who’ve never heard of us:
Libre Closet is a free, open-source, self-hosted wardrobe organizer - with client side garment image background removal. Catalog your clothes, upload photos, build outfits, and access everything from your phone as an offline-ready PWA - all on your own server.
We at Lazztech LLC have crafted and engineered this project with care and intention 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.
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v wardrobe-data:/data ghcr.io/lazztech/libre-closet:latest
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, whether about the development choices we’ve made, or about the product itself. We’re excited to continue to build a community around this project.

For those already familiar, I’d like to share some progress updates.
First, I’d like to introduce Leolazz, who’s joined the project as our 3rd core maintainer, alongside ShoshannaTM, and myself!
Second, I’d like to share gratitude for the warm and supportive reception Libre Closet has continued to receive. It sincerely makes my day when we get a new feature request or comment about how users are enjoying it. Since the first post, we’ve gotten 234 Github stars, over 10.8k docker image pulls, multiple community PRs contributed, and many helpful issues filed.

I wonder what the overlap is between people interested in self hosting computer services and people who are interested enough in fashion to want to catalog their clothing in an app. I'm in bubble A and not bubble B, but it feels like cataloging stuff you put in your fridge so you can make recipes instead of just looking in the fridge.
Yeah, I'm kinda, open wardrobe door, grab what looks about right for today, done.
But.
I can see another use case here...
Need to use the rest of the saved money for divorce lawyer fees 🤣
Lost war.
😂
ShoshannaTM laughed at this and said:
“Ask partner out on date, and check their wardrobe to suggest an outfit for the outing”
Which is relevant since we’re about to release a wardrobe sharing feature. I’m really excited about that one. I can see my friends and our partners value it. Like “hey I see you have that shiny silver garment, can I barrow it for new years?”.
Yeah, that's probably about right 😁
