A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Network overview / documentation (lemmy.omat.nl)

I have been searching for while now for goed software to document my network setup. I would like to document my servers, containers, network flow, possibly als store some config files. Also would be nice if it has some auto discovery on my network.

As said, I’ve been through a lot, but never found the tool that I liked. Netbox is nice, but lacks a graphical base. Several tools are just drawing tools that lack auto discovery of the network and seem hard to maintain in the future and can not hold extra information. Same goes for some unl based stuff.

Does anyone have a good suggestion?

Netbox was a total game changer for me, both at work and at home. It's overkill for a homelab, sure, but its still an incredibly valuable tool. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

There are also a couple plugins available that will auto-generate interactive diagrams that you can tweak before exporting, which should scratch that visual itch.
