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?
I always use draw.io
Me too. I also selfhost an instance of it, although really it’s almost entirely client side.
It’s also available as a standalone desktop application, which work perfectly even when you’re offline
It is just a imprecise bunch of JavaScript. There is no need to host it, you just need to get into your browser.
https://excalidraw.com/ seems a like a nice tool for a home job.
draw.io for diagrams, netbox for cables and IP addresses, and mediawiki for notes and guides on how it all works.
Thanks, but I’m looking for something else. I know about draw.io, but it’s just a drawing tool. I can use 10 different tools for that. I’m looking for something more advanced than that.
Netbox is ok, but I’m looking for something more visual.
I use bookstack to document everything about my setup. I dont have any diagrams yet, but it has drawing tool built in
