LubeLogger

Self-Hosted

Open-source self-hosted vehicle maintenance tracker

Overview

LubeLogger is a lightweight, open-source tool for tracking vehicle maintenance tasks like oil changes, tire rotations, and service reminders. It supports multiple vehicles, lets users log expenses, set mileage-based alerts, and generate maintenance history reports. Designed for self-hosting, it can be deployed via Docker (simplest method) or as a PHP-based web app on any server with MySQL/MariaDB. No external dependencies beyond basic web stack components, making it ideal for car enthusiasts or families managing multiple vehicles who value data privacy and control over their maintenance records.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is LubeLogger hard to install?

No—LubeLogger offers a Docker deployment option which simplifies setup to a few commands. For PHP users, it requires a web server (Apache/Nginx), PHP 7.4+, and MySQL/MariaDB; the repo includes step-by-step setup instructions for both methods.

? Is it a good alternative to Fuelly?

Yes, if you prioritize self-hosting and data control. Unlike Fuelly (cloud-based), LubeLogger keeps your data local. It lacks Fuelly’s community features but excels at core maintenance tracking and reminders without subscription costs.

? Is LubeLogger completely free?

Yes—LubeLogger is open-source under the MIT License, meaning it’s free to use, modify, and self-host with no hidden fees or paid tiers.
