Are you looking for an existing product, or something you can make yourself?

Inventory management software is fairly complex.


InvenTree is an open source product:

https://inventree.org/

https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree


Uses Python / Django, PostgreSQL, and Docker.  So your requirements 
won't be met re: OpenBSD and MariaDB.


At a glance, it looks like the only free ($0) thing I can find.



As for building something... what needs to be tracked? The database 
layout would require quite a bit of thought.

Then... how do you envision interacting with the database?  SQL in a CLI 
is going to be a PITA, so a web front end?  A customized native application?
