IPAM is a cli based [IP Address Management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_management) tool built with [Go](https://go.dev/) using [Cobra](https://cobra.dev/) and [Viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) with optional [PowerDNS](https://www.powerdns.com/auth.html) API integration.
- Adding, viewing and deleting single IP addresses with FQDNs
- automatic addition and deletion of forward and reverse records
- import and export configuration
## But why?
In my career as a Network Engineer I worked at a company that developed their own internal CMDB that was set up as a cli application. I really liked the ease of use and the way you could quickly do stuff.
So I sat down and started my first Go project and started developing this ipam.
## Usage
`ipam` is built as a cli app. Once you installed `ipam` and added it to your `$PATH`, you can
- add prefixes with `ipam subnet add 192.168.0.0/24 fancy-subnet-name`
- add IPs to those prefixes with `ipam ip add 192.168.0.1 fqdn.example.com`
- add the next free IP in a prefix with `ipam ip add 192.168.0.0/24 fqdn2.example.com`
- much more (see `ipam (command) --help` for examples)
If PowerDNS integration is enabled in `$HOME/.ipam/ipam.yml`, forward and reverse DNS records are automatically managed when you add or delete IP addresses with hostnames.
The main development is happening at [https://codeberg.org/lauralani/ipam](https://codeberg.org/lauralani/ipam).
