What is mygarage?

A household-focused application for recording vehicle service visits, fuel and charging logs, tire rotations, insurance policies, and documents with OCR. The LiveLink feature ingests real-time telemetry from WiCAN hardware, the Torque Pro app, MQTT sources, or Mopeka propane sensors. Multiple users can share vehicles with configurable units, languages, and currencies. Runs as a single container on port 8686, defaulting to SQLite with optional PostgreSQL. Authentication begins disabled for quick setup and can be switched to built-in accounts or any OIDC provider. Reminders and alerts send to a wide range of notification channels. Data exports as JSON, CSV, or PDF. MIT licensed, developed by homelabforge with AI-assisted coding.
