In their own words
Ralph
Ralph is free, open-source software for asset management, data center infrastructure management, and configuration management databases in data centers and back offices. It records hardware purchases, ownership, and asset lifecycles through flexible workflow flows, and includes data center visualization, service mapping, and discovery imports. Ralph can be self-hosted on premises and exposes a REST-style web API for querying and populating its database. API resources support GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, using an automatically generated personal token in the Authorization header. Cloud synchronization supports OpenStack Ocata, with documentation for providers such as AWS. LDAP or Active Directory authentication can be enabled. Ralph is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license and costs nothing. Production Debian packages target Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic on AMD64; Docker Compose installation is experimental. The maintainers provide source without guarantees for issue responses or pull-request support and direct commercial-support seekers to the community forum.
