Every cable, switch port, VLAN, and rack unit in a homelab or small server room gets a documented place in Rackpad, a self-hosted inventory and operations workspace. Rack elevations show mounted gear, including paired half-width appliances. Switch-panel port maps and aggregate ports show what is patched where. Cables carry type, length, and color, editable in bulk. VLANs, subnets, DHCP scopes, reservations, and zones sit in one Networks workspace, with gateway and DNS protection and a mismatch review for IP assignments. Storage topology follows drives, bays, and pools that span several devices. Wi-Fi controllers, access points, hypervisor hosts, and virtual machines have pages of their own, and Proxmox and Hyper-V hosts can be imported after review. Discovery scans a subnet or any CIDR and stages every finding in an inbox. Per-device checks over ICMP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP raise alerts by email, Discord, or Telegram. Everything feeds a movable topology map. Markdown runbooks attach to devices, and an audit log records every change. Admin, editor, and viewer roles control access, and OpenID Connect login is optional.

Ralph tracks thousands of assets across data centers and back offices through a unified CMDB, DCIM, and asset management platform, providing the same capabilities as ServiceNow, Device42, and Sunbird dcTrack without per-asset licensing fees. Used by Allegro in production and backed by over 2,500 GitHub stars, it is built on Python 3 with Django and Django REST Framework. Interactive data center floor plans support drag-and-drop rack placement, front and rear rack views showing U-level asset positioning, power consumption tracking per PDU, and ethernet and fiber connection mapping. The back office module manages laptops, desktops, printers, mobile phones, and accessories with user assignment tracking, warehouse inventory, stock-taking audits, and automated loan workflows. IP address management handles network environments with DHCP and DNS integration alongside network topology visualization. Software license tracking monitors per-user and per-core allocations with usage calculations, compliance reporting, and expiration alerts, while vendor support contracts track SLA agreements and warranty renewal dates. The transitions system automates asset lifecycle processes through configurable workflows that trigger HTTP webhooks, custom Python scripts, email notifications, and Puppet and Ansible configuration management integration. Custom fields extend the data model with text, numbers, dates, choices, and URLs per asset type, accessible via the REST API. Multi-tenant architecture organizes assets by regions, data centers, service environments, and business units. Deploy via Docker with the allegro/ralph image alongside MySQL and Redis.

Homelable turns your entire homelab into a live, interactive network canvas where every device, link, and service shows its real-time status at a glance. Run an nmap-powered network scan against your subnets and the tool fingerprints services, queues unknown devices for review, and drops approved hosts onto a drag-and-drop canvas with 15 native node types covering routers, switches, hypervisors, NAS boxes, IoT sensors, and more. Import your full Zigbee2MQTT mesh (controllers, routers, end devices with link quality indicators) and Z-Wave JS device trees in one click, preserving the actual RF topology without manual wiring. Proxmox integration pulls in hosts, VMs, and LXC containers so you can nest virtual machines inside their parent hypervisor node on the canvas. The Rack Canvas mode documents the physical side of your lab: create racks with configurable U-height, mount gear into slots, and patch ports across devices to track your cabling. Health checks run every 60 seconds using ping, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, SSH, or Prometheus scrape endpoints, with WebSocket push delivering green, red, or pending status pulses directly to the canvas. Split your infrastructure across multiple canvases organized by site, rack, or purpose, and share a read-only Live View URL with anyone on your network. A built-in Model Context Protocol server lets AI assistants like Claude query and modify your topology through natural language. Deploy on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Watching a MikroTik RouterOS v7 router in real time is what MikroDash is for: live traffic, connections, Wi-Fi clients, DHCP leases, and WireGuard peers reach the browser the moment anything changes. Cards drag into any layout, and the arrangement follows your account to every browser. Managing a fleet happens on the Devices page, which shows routers as cards, a list, or a world map with 24-hour connectivity, last backup, open alerts, and pending updates. Rolling out a change starts in Config Management: choose one of 20 ready-made templates or capture your own, then deploy to one router or the fleet with a restore point, a canary router, and an automatic revert if a change cuts MikroDash off. Scheduled backups are kept only when something changed, with a diff and a guarded restore. New sites join through a generated script that calls home over a built-in WireGuard tunnel, even from behind NAT. Alerts reach SMTP, Telegram, ntfy, Discord, Slack, Gotify, Pushover, and Apprise. Troubleshooting stays in the browser with ping, traceroute, torch, bandwidth tests, a packet sniffer, and a RouterOS terminal. Read-only API access covers every page and alert, while roles, OpenID Connect sign-in, and an audit trail of every write govern shared use. Off by default, an optional assistant answers from live router data and asks before changing anything. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Subnet math, DNS lookups, DHCP options, and certificate checks share one browser tab in Networking Toolbox, a free toolkit for sysadmins and network engineers. Need to carve a /24 into departments? The VLSM planner fits named subnet requirements into a parent block, reports each subnet's efficiency and the leftover space, and exports the plan as CSV or JSON. Merging address lists? CIDR utilities summarize, split, compare, and deaggregate prefixes, with set operations for difference, overlap, and containment. Writing configs? Generators build DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 options, PXE profiles, Kea or ISC snippets, and SPF, DKIM, DMARC, CAA, TLSA, and SRV records, and DNSSEC helpers calculate key tags and DS records. Something broken? Diagnostics query DNS through Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, or a resolver of your choice, read TLS certificate chains, grade HTTP security headers, trace redirects, check TCP ports, look up BGP routes and RDAP records, and test mail servers. Need a refresher? Reference guides explain private ranges, CGNAT, IPv6 address types, and common ports. A keyboard search palette puts any tool a few keystrokes away, and bookmarked tools stay available offline. Eighteen themes, four languages, custom branding, and accessibility switches make it feel like your own, and a keyless JSON API serves the subnet, CIDR, IP, and DNS utilities to scripts.

Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide with over 14,700 GitHub stars, Snipe-IT has been the gold standard in open-source IT asset management since 2013. Built on Laravel 12 with PHP 8.2+, it provides a comprehensive web-based platform for tracking every physical and digital asset in your organization — from laptops and servers to software licenses, accessories, consumables, and components. The check-in/check-out system assigns assets to users with full audit trails, digital signature acceptance, and automated email notifications for checkouts, approaching deadlines, expiring warranties, and low inventory. License management handles multi-seat software with seat-by-seat tracking, compliance monitoring, and expiration alerts. Custom fields let you capture organization-specific metadata, while the advanced search engine supports logical operators including and/or conditions, exact matching with is:value, fuzzy exclusions with not:value, and null checks. SCIM 2.0 integration synchronizes users, groups, locations, companies, and managers from identity providers like Azure Entra ID and Okta. Enterprise authentication supports LDAP, Active Directory, Google Secure LDAP, and SAML 2.0 single sign-on.

DumbAssets delivers a deliberately simple physical asset tracker that does exactly one thing well — keeping tabs on everything you own, from server racks down to individual HDDs, with hierarchical component nesting that mirrors real-world organization. The Node.js backend stores all data in JSON files within a single /data directory, making backups trivial with one folder copy while the PWA-enabled frontend provides responsive access from any device with light and dark theme persistence. Assets track model numbers, serial numbers, purchase dates, warranty expiration dates, and custom descriptions while sub-components nest infinitely — attach a Dell R730 to your server rack, then attach individual drives, CPUs, and NICs to that server with separate warranty and maintenance schedules for each. The Apprise notification engine fires configurable alerts for warranty expirations and maintenance events with direct links back to the specific asset in the web interface. Photo uploads attach visual records to any asset, receipt storage keeps purchase documentation alongside the item it covers, and a flexible tagging system enables cross-cutting organization beyond the hierarchy. PIN authentication with brute-force protection secures the interface, while search covers names, models, serials, and descriptions with sorting by warranty status, tags, components, or alphabetical order. Deploy with a single Docker command mapping port 3000 and one data volume. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL v3 licensed.

Shelf answers the three questions every equipment manager dreads — who has it, where is it, and when is it coming back — using QR-code-first tracking where every asset gets a unique scannable label, every handover is logged with timestamps and e-signed custody agreements, and every scan captures GPS coordinates displayed on a map. Built on React Router 7 with React 19, TypeScript 5, Prisma 6 ORM, and Tailwind CSS 3 with Radix UI components, the platform generates QR codes and barcodes (Code128, Code39, Datamatrix) printable on DYMO, Brother, and Zebra label printers. The custody system records every handover with user details and generates PDF custody agreements with e-signatures for high-value items, while a complete audit trail tracks responsibility from check-out to return. The visual booking calendar prevents double-bookings automatically, supports partial check-outs and returns with segmented lifecycle bars, and handles quantity-tracked consumables alongside individually serialized equipment. Asset Models enable bulk creation of identical items with shared defaults while maintaining individual QR codes and custody histories. Location tracking displays last-scanned GPS coordinates on MapTiler maps. Supabase Auth provides email and SSO authentication, pg-boss handles background job queuing, and Nodemailer delivers SMTP email. The Shelf Companion app on iOS and Android enables field scanning and bookings. Export Asset Inventory, Asset Distribution, and Custody Snapshot reports for compliance. Deploy via Docker with PostgreSQL and Supabase. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3.0 licensed.

Trusted by millions of engineers and deployed on over 80,000 GitHub stars worth of community confidence, Netdata delivers true real-time monitoring at per-second granularity — 10-60x faster than Prometheus, Datadog, or any conventional monitoring stack that averages away the transient anomalies lasting 2-10 seconds where most production incidents originate. A single installation command deploys the agent with zero configuration, automatically discovering every running process, container, systemd service, network connection, disk, and application on the host within seconds. Unsupervised machine learning trains multiple models per metric directly at the edge, detecting anomalies without thresholds, baselines, or manual tuning. The distributed Parent-Child architecture scales horizontally from a single Raspberry Pi to fleets exceeding 100,000 nodes while maintaining sub-2-second visualization latency and storing metrics at approximately 0.5 bytes per sample through tiered compression. Native network monitoring provides live topology maps, NetFlow and sFlow analytics, SNMP device polling across 200+ profiles, and trap handling — capabilities that typically require a separate NPM product. Hundreds of pre-configured alerts cover systems and applications out of the box, with AI-powered root cause analysis surfacing correlated metrics through natural language via MCP-compatible AI assistants. The agent supports Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Kubernetes, and Docker with eBPF-based kernel observability requiring no application instrumentation. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL v3+ licensed.

Monitoring everything from network switches to Kubernetes clusters since 2001 with over 6,200 GitHub stars and deployments exceeding 100,000 devices per installation, Zabbix has established itself as one of the most mature and feature-rich open-source monitoring platforms available, trusted by organizations including Dell, Salesforce, ICANN, and T-Mobile. The platform collects metrics from virtually any source using Zabbix Agent written in C, Zabbix Agent 2 written in Go with native plugin support, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 polling and trapping, IPMI for hardware health, JMX for Java applications, SSH and Telnet checks, HTTP/HTTPS polling, and ODBC database queries. Version 7.0 LTS introduced synthetic browser monitoring that executes user-defined JavaScript via WebDriver to simulate multi-step user interactions on websites, proxy load balancing with automatic host redistribution across proxy groups for high availability, in-memory proxy data buffering delivering up to 100x performance improvement, native multi-factor authentication with TOTP and Duo support, and just-in-time user provisioning from SAML and LDAP. Low-level discovery automatically detects file systems, network interfaces, SNMP OIDs, VMware resources, and Kubernetes pods, creating monitoring items and triggers dynamically. The alerting engine correlates events with configurable escalation chains, sending notifications through Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Jira, email, and SMS with customizable message templates. Over 1,000 official templates provide instant monitoring for Linux, Windows, VMware, AWS, Azure, Docker, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Apache, Nginx, and hundreds more.

The de facto dashboard of observability: Grafana is the open-source frontend that turns the data stores you already run into interactive graphs. It does not store metrics itself; it connects to the data stores you already run and turns their contents into interactive dashboards. Supported sources number over 150 via plugins: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Monitoring, and many more. Dashboards are built from a large library of panel types (time series, heatmaps, tables, gauges, logs) with template variables for reusable, parameterized views. Unified alerting evaluates rules against any connected data source, not just Prometheus, and routes notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, email, and other channels with grouping and silencing - unlike Prometheus Alertmanager, a single rule can combine a Loki log pattern, a PostgreSQL query result, and a CloudWatch metric. Dashboards serialize to JSON and data sources configure via provisioning files, so the entire observability setup can live in Git and deploy repeatably across environments. Explore mode adds ad-hoc querying outside dashboards, with split view for correlating a metric spike against the matching log lines, and access control spans organizations, teams, folder permissions, and OAuth, LDAP, and SAML integration. Written in Go and TypeScript, AGPL-licensed. Self-hosting gives you unlimited users, dashboards, and queries at flat hosting cost, without Grafana Cloud's usage-based pricing.

Pulse monitors your entire heterogeneous infrastructure from one screen: Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway, Docker, Podman, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, TrueNAS SCALE/CORE, VMware vSphere, and standalone Linux/Windows/macOS machines. The Go binary embeds a SolidJS/TypeScript frontend, delivering WebSocket-driven dashboards with sub-second metric updates on port 7655. A unified agent auto-detects Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and Proxmox on each host without manual configuration and self-updates silently, while Proxmox nodes need only API credentials with zero agent installation. Smart alerts use adaptive hysteresis-based thresholds to prevent notification floods, pushing to Discord, Slack, Telegram, Teams, email, ntfy.sh, Gotify, and generic webhooks with per-resource overrides. The standout feature is Pulse Patrol: scheduled AI health checks running every ten minutes to seven days using OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local Ollama models. Patrol catches silent backup failures, capacity creep, restart loops, unhealthy containers, and clock drift that dashboards miss when nobody is watching. Platform-specific views render Proxmox nodes, Ceph clusters, Docker Compose projects, Kubernetes workloads, TrueNAS pools, and vSphere VMs in familiar layouts. OIDC, SSO, and SAML authentication with credential encryption at rest secures access. 6,500+ stars and 441 releases since February 2025.

Komari turns a scattered fleet of VPS boxes into one clean status wall that shows which servers are alive, struggling, or about to expire. Every node reports CPU, GPU, memory, swap, disk, load, network speed, traffic totals, and uptime to a real-time dashboard, with history views from ten minutes to thirty days or any custom range. Flip between a card grid and a table, search by name, region, or operating system, and tag each machine with its price, billing cycle, and days until renewal. Latency tasks send ICMP, TCP, or HTTP probes and plot the results in per-node charts. Offline alerts wait out a per-node grace period before firing, expiry reminders warn before a plan lapses, and Webhook and custom JavaScript channels deliver them. A multi-tab browser terminal that reattaches after disconnects, remote command execution, and a remote file manager with an editor let you fix problems without leaving the panel. Agents install with a script, a binary, Docker, or an auto-discovery key for batch rollouts, and administrators can switch an agent's version remotely. Plugins run on an embedded JavaScript runtime and can add scheduled jobs, HTTP hooks, static pages, and notification channels. Administrators can add two-factor authentication, OAuth sign-in, API keys for a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint, themes from a theme market, and backups. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Every homelab deserves a control center that looks as good as the services it manages. Lab Dash gives you a customizable, drag-and-drop dashboard where every tile earns its spot. Add shortcut widgets linking to your Plex, Grafana, Nextcloud, or any service with automatic health check indicators showing green or red status at a glance. The system monitoring widget displays real-time CPU usage, memory consumption, network throughput, disk utilization, and temperature readings by mounting the host /sys directory as a read-only volume. Integrate Pi-hole stats, qBittorrent download progress, and media server widgets for Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby directly on your grid. Multiple pages let you organize services by category, and the search bar finds any tile instantly. Customize the background image from a local upload or URL, set a custom title and tab name, and choose your preferred search provider including self-hosted options like SearXNG. All sensitive configuration data is encrypted locally with AES-256-CBC, and only administrator accounts can modify the layout. Install Lab Dash as a Progressive Web App on desktop, phone, or tablet for a native app experience with offline capability. Configurations export as backup files for easy migration between instances. On RepoCloud, deploy Lab Dash on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access and Docker socket connectivity under the GPL-3.0 license.

A single pane of glass for every service you run, arranged by drag-and-drop with no YAML or JSON files: Homarr is the modern dashboard for self-hosted infrastructure. Its grid system arranges apps, widgets, and bookmarks on desktop or touch, backed by an icon picker with over 11,000 icons. What separates Homarr from static launchers is 50+ live integrations: Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media stats, the *arr suite (Sonarr, Radarr) with a unified release calendar, download clients, Pi-hole and AdGuard Home controls, Proxmox, Home Assistant, OPNsense, and Unifi monitoring. Widgets update in real time over WebSockets (tRPC and Redis under the hood), and a built-in search queries thousands of data points across connected services. Custom widgets extend the reach to any HTTP API without code: define endpoint, auth, and refresh interval in the management UI, then render responses as stat grids, tables, progress bars, status indicators, action buttons, or full custom JSX layouts - with an AI-prompt helper for generating templates. Multi-user support is first-class: credentials, OIDC, or LDAP sign-on, groups with granular permissions, and secrets encrypted with AES-256-CBC. A robust background-job system scales it from a Raspberry Pi homelab to deployments serving hundreds of users.
