About the project
Plant-it is a self-hosted gardening companion app. Useful for keeping track of plant care, receiving notifications about when to water plants, uploading plant images, and more.
About this release:
Highlights In this release, we’ve made significant improvements to both the app and server, focusing on performance, notifications, and overall user experience. One of the most notable changes is the switch from Ubuntu to Alpine as the base Docker image for the server, resulting in a much smaller image size, which should lead to faster deployments and lower resource usage. We’ve also introduced Gotify notifications across both the app and server, providing alerts to keep you informed. Additionally, we’ve addressed various small fixes and enhancements to improve stability and usability.
This sounds super cool, I’ve been looking for something to keep track of my plants! Gonna try this
So is this more like a gardening journal? Or is this something that you can connect any sensors to track moisture level, etc?
Reading through the main page for it, it seems more like a smart journal. You’d enter your crops, and enter info about water/treatment information, and it’ll send notifications as reminders to do tasks, but it doesn’t determine water and care schedules for you, that’s something the user sets up (from what I understand at least).
Very interesting ill try it out, thanks!
I’m way behind on starting my gardening journey, but I plan on starting in the spring myself, and I’ll give this a shot too
If youd like to start in the fall theres plenty of plants that can withstand the cole such as garlic beets etc. Though your zone matters too
Thanks, and good to know! I’m honestly waiting for the spring to build some boxes (that I should just build this fall). I should just prep the area and get started now :/
Cool! As soon as the plant identity database is selfhostavle I’ll be digging into this!
Hmm, I tried it out after seeing this but I’m not really much of a fan of the mobile-first approach. I’ve moved on to HortusFox and it’s more what I was expecting.
My wife is the one who’ll be using it though, so we’ll see if she likes it.
Also a happy user of HortusFox. Very good service :)
