- **Item Management:** Add, retrieve, update, and delete items within boxes.
- **Image Storage:** Store images associated with items.
- **JWT Authentication:** Secure API access with JSON Web Tokens.
- **Configuration:** Manage settings via a `config.yaml` file.
- **Logging:** Logs user logins and box/item actions to a file.
