Material Organization & Storage System
An open-source IT asset management and documentation platform for comprehensive hardware, software, and network infrastructure tracking.
M.O.S.S. is a modern alternative to other IT inventory products, built specifically for IT departments managing complex infrastructure including traditional IT equipment, broadcast/AV systems, and cloud services. It provides a single source of truth for all IT assets, their relationships, and documentation.
- Comprehensive Asset Tracking: Manage devices, software, SaaS services, licenses, and contracts
- Network Topology Mapping: Visualize network infrastructure from physical interface relationships
- Universal Interface Model: Track all connection types (network, broadcast, power, data) in a single unified system
- Relationship-First Design: Maintain complex relationships between devices, people, software, networks, and locations
- Role-Based Access Control: Granular permissions with global, location-based, and object-specific scoping
- Modular Equipment Support: Parent-child relationships for chassis-based systems with independent warranty tracking
- Admin Settings Panel: Comprehensive system configuration dashboard for branding, authentication, storage, integrations, and more
-

📚 Full Docker Deployment Guide: See docs/docker-deployment.md for complete instructions including:
- Using pre-built images from GHCR
- Environment configuration
- Reverse proxy setup
- Backup and restore
- Upgrading and monitoring
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/moss.git
cd moss
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Configure environment (optional - defaults work for local PostgreSQL)
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials if needed
# Start development server
npm run devThe application will be available at http://localhost:3001
On first launch, visit /setup to complete the initialization wizard. The setup will:
- Automatically create the database
- Create all tables and schema
- Guide you through creating your admin account
- Set up your primary organization
No manual database setup required! The setup wizard handles everything automatically.
All interfaces, ports, and connectors are tracked through a single ios table that handles:
- Network: Ethernet, fiber, WiFi with VLAN tagging support
- Broadcast: SDI, HDMI, XLR, Coax for AV equipment
- Power: AC/DC inputs and outputs for power topology
- Data: USB, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort connections
This unified approach enables comprehensive topology mapping across different connection types.
Rather than unique screens for each object type, M.O.S.S. uses three reusable templates:
- Generic List View: Browse and filter any standard object type
- Generic Detail View: View/edit complete information with relationship tabs
- Generic Form: Create or edit any standard object
Specialized views are only created for unique workflows (network topology, IP management, RBAC configuration).
Devices can have parent-child relationships to represent:
- Chassis-based systems (switches with line cards, blade servers)
- Rack-mounted equipment with independent modules
- Each child module maintains its own warranty, serial number, and lifecycle data
M.O.S.S. manages 16 core object types across 4 categories, all with full CRUD operations, relationship tracking, and enhanced table views.
