Pick Danbyte if…
Danbyte may suit teams managing IP space, data-center equipment, virtualization, and network automation who want a self-hosted source of truth. Fully air-gapped deployment is an option for users running it on their own hardware.
Pick FluxDHCP if…
FluxDHCP suits administrators who want to run and manage a DHCPv4 server themselves, with web-based pool, reservation, lease, and event management. It is not a fit for DHCPv6 needs, and requires Node.js 20 or later and elevated privileges to bind UDP port 67.
