EnglishWhat is LubeLogger?
Updated
LubeLogger is a self-hosted, open-source web application for tracking vehicle maintenance records and fuel mileage. It is developed by Hargata Softworks in Price, Utah, and is aimed at vehicle owners who want to keep their maintenance and fuel data on their own server rather than in a third-party cloud service. If you want one place to log repairs, plan upcoming work, and calculate fuel economy across one or more vehicles, LubeLogger is built for that job.
What LubeLogger does
The core purpose is to consolidate everything you spend on and do to your vehicles. According to the project's own description, its main capabilities are:
- Expense tracking — view vehicle expenses by year, month, and category.
- Planner / To-Do tracking — plan and track the progress of maintenance tasks, grouped by type, priority, and progress.
- Vehicle records — log all work done on your vehicles, with documents such as invoices and receipts attached.
- Fuel tracker — track fuel economy in MPG, UK MPG, L/100KM, or KM/L.
- Supplies — track consumables associated with your vehicles.
- Reminders — set recurring maintenance reminders based on date, odometer, or whichever comes first.
The dashboard is the entry point that ties these together, giving an overview of vehicle expenses and upcoming work.
Who it is for
LubeLogger fits you if:
- You maintain more than one vehicle and want a single record set for all of them.
- You prefer to host the application yourself instead of handing maintenance history to a commercial service.
- You want fuel economy calculated consistently across different measurement conventions.
- You need reminders that trigger on either a calendar schedule or an odometer reading, since maintenance intervals often depend on whichever arrives first.
It is less relevant if you only want a mobile app with no server to run, or if you have no interest in managing your own hosting.
Other features worth knowing
Beyond the core modules, the project lists several additional capabilities:
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Professional vehicle reports | Generate formatted reports from your records |
| Multiple users | More than one person can use the same instance |
| User-customizable fields | Add fields specific to your vehicles or workflow |
| CSV imports/exports | Move data in and out in bulk |
| API | Integrate with other tools or scripts |
| Single sign-on | Authenticate through an existing identity provider |
Trying it before committing
LubeLogger offers a hosted demo, so you can explore the interface without setting up your own instance. The project's demo credentials are username test and password 1234. Because this is a shared demo, treat anything you enter there as disposable — use it to evaluate the workflow, not to store real records.
Key things to verify on your own
The project description covers features and origin but does not state licensing terms, system requirements, installation methods, or whether any paid tier exists. Before deploying, check the project's own documentation for those details, since they determine whether LubeLogger fits your server environment and how you are permitted to use it.
