RackPeek on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

RackPeek is an open source, self hosted tool for documenting and managing home lab and small scale IT infrastructure. It gives you one place to record the hardware and topology you actually run: racks and the devices in them, servers and their CPUs, drives, GPUs and network cards, switches, routers, firewalls, access points and UPS units, the networks they sit on and the cables and links between them. Everything is kept in a single human readable YAML file, so your infrastructure is documented as code you can read, diff and version alongside the rest of your configuration, and it can generate topology and logical diagrams, Ansible inventories and SSH and hosts exports from that same source of truth.

It suits home lab owners who want their rack and network documented instead of remembered, small teams that need a shared, accurate picture of what hardware exists and how it is wired, and anyone who would rather describe their estate once and generate inventories and diagrams from it than maintain separate spreadsheets and drawings.

Common uses

• Documenting a home lab or small IT estate as code: racks, devices, networks and how they connect
• Keeping one shared, accurate source of truth for what hardware exists and how it is wired
• Generating topology diagrams, Ansible inventories and SSH or hosts exports from that inventory
