Danbyte vs SpatiumDDI

Danbyte is an open-source IP address management, data-center infrastructure management and network source-of-truth platform. It tracks IP space, hardware, cabling, power, virtualization, monitoring and automation in one system. For IPAM, it calculates prefix containment, available space and utilization per VRF, and handles VLANs, DHCP ranges, DNS zones and route targets. Its DCIM tools model rack elevations, device faceplates, ports, power and virtual chassis. Network views include cable and fibre tracing, floor plans, circuits, VPN tunnels and wireless SSIDs. Proxmox VE and VMware vCenter imports cover virtual machines and related infrastructure, with drift reconciliation; active checks, SNMP and nmap discovery help maintain an observed layer. Automation options include Ansible and Terraform inventories, Jinja templates, signed webhooks and scoped APIs. Danbyte can run on user hardware, including fully air-gapped deployments, without telemetry or an expiring license. The free, self-hosted offer includes all features without seat licensing. The Linux quick installer bundles Python, Node and dependencies but requires PostgreSQL 15+ and Redis.

SpatiumDDI is a free, self-hosted control plane for DNS, DHCP, and IP address management. Its IPAM organizes hierarchical spaces, blocks, and subnets for IPv4 and IPv6. The control plane manages BIND9, PowerDNS, or Technitium DNS and Kea DHCP configurations, and lists agentless drivers for Cloudflare, Route 53, Azure DNS, Google Cloud DNS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, and Vultr. Existing Windows DNS and DHCP servers can connect through RFC 2136 and WinRM without software on domain controllers. Every UI action is exposed through a REST API, with Terraform and Ansible named as clients. Group-based RBAC and LDAP, OIDC, SAML, RADIUS, and TACACS+ are supported. Data stays in PostgreSQL on your infrastructure, with no telemetry or account-data collection stated. Docker Compose and Kubernetes with Helm are supported deployments.
