The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”.
It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the “shared knowledge”.
So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.
Grocy is a neat project for stuff like this. Also available as a HomeAssistant add-on, if that’s your style
Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.

You can self-host https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it or use their system. It definitely more enterprisey/business focused, but would work fine for this request. Can even do automatic email notifications and stuff for device/tool requests. Eg. You have a tool and someone wants it, they can request it and it will fire an email to you that they want it.
I’ve heard good things about grocy not sure if it fits your case
Trillium. Excellent, searchable, tool for interlinked data, plus (decently strong, depending on you) password encryption for tree branches.
A Google sheet with a Google form to collect data.
Just a wiki with a decent search. For example Wiki.js.
