Looking for self hosted digital asset management (beehaw.org)

I'm looking to be able to store assets that I've created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I'm doing a commission I can filter out the "personal use only" assets available. As the primary use is for visual arts assets, large preview images would be perfect. Teeny tiny icons not nearly as useful when browsing through image elements to find something you like.

I'm really looking for a self hosted option, ideally one with a docker container available but I could also spin up a virtual machine to host it if required.

Does anyone know of something that would fit the bill?

I realize this is a FOSS channel, but I'm going to play devil's advocate and suggest Eagle.

I have some 40K assets, mostly JPGs and PNGs, and apart from Obsidian, Eagle is the best piece of software I've found in the last 5 years, maybe longer, and I absolutely adore it.

It's not free, but it's pay-once, fairly cheap, and the upcoming version has an API and huge focus on community developed plugins.

The current version supports a huge amount of file types, including 3D. I'm not completely sure about audio, but I'd be kinda surprised if Eagle didn't support audio.

Thanks for the suggestion, I love the way it's laid out and the price is very reasonable! I'll put it on the table
