ipam

A cli based IP Address Management built with Go using Cobra and Viper with optional PowerDNS API integration.

Features

ipam is a cli based IPAM. It supports:

Adding, listing, viewing and deleting subnets
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.

How do I use the cmdb?

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.

How can I contribute to the development?

The main development is happening at https://codeberg.org/lauralani/ipam.
