Netipam is open-source software for IP address management, network topology, inventory, and operational visibility.
What Netipam is
Netipam is open-source software for IP address management, network topology, inventory, and operational visibility. It is intended for enthusiasts and professionals managing home or office networks, and currently gets client and device information from UniFi gateways or UniFi OS. Its dashboard can show offline and newly discovered device alerts, WAN status, subnet utilization charts, and a critical-devices list. Topology views show network hierarchy and upstream connections, and can export to Excel. Subnet pages show CIDR, usable and used addresses, DHCP range, VLAN ID, DNS, and the next three free IPs. Device and client records include status events and online/offline and IP history covering 30 days. Inventory fields include asset number, manufacturer, model, operating system, acquisition source, and date. Proxmox host profiles can map virtual machines and LXC guests to hosts. The software keeps data on the local device and requires no external services or database. Installation instructions cover Docker, Synology DSM Container Manager, and Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora. It is in beta; the installation page lists version 0.8.7 as current. Available deployment options include Linux, self-hosted, and web.
