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.

      I use Grocy and Bar Code Buddy for the pantry and groceries. My ‘wardrobe’ consists of jeans or shorts, and a t-shirt, so there’s not much to catalog. However, I can see how someone who has fashion sense, going to a fancy engagement, might want to browse their wardrobe for a potential ensemble and accessories. Not everyone is a slob like me. LOL

      Yeah, I’m kinda, open wardrobe door, grab what looks about right for today, done.

      But.

      I can see another use case here…

      • Partner “has nothing to wear”
      • Mentions buying more clothes
      • I open app, scroll, demonstrate how long the scrolling is still going for.
      • Win argument.
      • Purchase beer with saved money
      • (pass some to devs for assisting)

      At this point we don’t have a concrete plan, but for the sustainability of the project I would like to monetize it eventually.

      As of now we do have a ko-fi donation page set up and linked in the repo though.

      What I do know for sure though is that it’s important to me that the selfhosted deployments always be maintained as full featured as possible. I’m a selfhoster myself and have been doing so for many years. I’ve thought a lot about this subject and really don’t want to f it up.

      I really like the Bitwarden, Immich, or ghost blog model. “Want to use our convenient cloud hosted instance? Toss us a few bucks a year to support development. Otherwise selfhost it and you’ll still get the same full experience… it just might take a bit of work.”

      I’m entertaining some kind of paid plan for professional stylists on the public cloud instance.

      The selfhosters will always be our core audience though. It takes actual effort to selfhost and invest in open source, so those who do so will remain first and foremost. And ideally this good will may result in positive recommendations for our cloud offerings down the road to those less inclined to self host.
