Cannery

Cannery is a self-hosted web application for tracking ammunition, containers, and shooting sessions. It provides a simple browser-based interface to manage ammo types, pack items into containers, stage gear for range days, and record shots for usage tracking.

Key Features

• Create and organize containers for ammunition and tag them with custom tags
• Define ammunition types and add ammo packs to containers with quantity and metadata
• Stage ammo packs for range days and record shot usage with per-pack shot records
• User registration via invite tokens or public registration, with the first created user becoming an admin
• Email configuration for notifications and invitation delivery via SMTP
• Localized UI with multiple locale options and Docker Compose deployment for easy hosting
• Uses PostgreSQL via Ecto for data storage and a Phoenix (Elixir) web frontend

Use Cases

• Home armory management: keep track of rounds, storage containers, and ammunition types
• Range-day staging: prepare and track which packs are taken to the range and monitor consumption
• Clubs or small organizations: share access with invited users and maintain centralized shot/usage records

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily a web UI intended for single-instance use; no official mobile app or public API is documented
• Designed for self-hosted deployments and relies on PostgreSQL and a reverse proxy for production setups

Cannery is focused on simple, practical inventory and usage tracking for ammunition. It is implemented with Elixir and Phoenix and is intended for operators who prefer a lightweight, privacy-focused, self-hosted solution.
