I used HomeBox for this.

I would check out Trilium. It's a general purpose note taking/knowledge base application but it's very powerful in how it can be used. You could create a note for each item and attach a photo to the note. Then you can add details and have them searchable.
- Open source and has Linux client
- Stores data locally and/or syncs to a server
- Not sure what Nextcloud is but it is easy to self host
- Does not have Android app but it if you self-host the web interface is usable on mobile through the browser
Have you looked at Warracker?
How many receipts do you have to keep track of?
I just take photos which sync to immich.
Around 50 receipts + photos of bought items, so it would be around 100 photos. Searching in those photos wouldn't really be feasible and there wouldn't be any relation between photos of receipts and photos of items. Also I don't think I would be able to write all the information from the receipt and about the items anywhere (item description, date of purchase, last warranty date, price, store name, store address).
That setup sounds solid, especially with the focus on FOSS and Nextcloud sync. A dedicated document organizer combined with a lightweight receipt maker could also help for managing warranty records and keeping everything searchable across devices. Hope you find a good Linux-friendly solution!
