Tool Open source
Vaultisse is an open-source web application for managing physical book collections at home, in schools, or in small lending libraries. It catalogs books by manual entry or ISBN scanning, automatically retrieving metadata through Google Books, Open Library, and LibraryThing fallback lookups, and tracks individual copies, their shelf or location, reading and availability status, damage, and current borrowers. It also provides full-text search, barcode and ISBN label printing, collection statistics, and organization by author, category, language, and format.
The application uses a Vue 3 and Vuetify single-page frontend with an Express and TypeScript REST API backed by PostgreSQL. It supports JWT sessions in HTTP-only cookies, password hashing, optional OIDC/SSO, rate limiting, and a multilingual interface. Vaultisse can be run locally or deployed with Docker or PM2; its source code is licensed under the MIT License.
