Do you have some inventory software for your Servers?
Hi,
somehow - over the time - i got a few (Lowend-VPS-)sytems.
until know i tried to get my overview with an excel-sheet - but this seems to be not optimal.
Especially if i exchange the sytems.
Is there some kind of inventory software that specializes on servers/VPSes?
I would like to store:
- Public Addresses
- Private Addresses
- Host where i bought it
- location
- pricing
- perhaps the next due date
- some hardware-facts (CPU, RAM, Traffic)
Anything you can recommend?
Thanks

I honestly use a custom 1password template
For all "servers" including phones, pcs, etc
Maybe this?

Recently I made a catalogue of my servers on Google sheets. If you know your way around it you can make lots of customizations
Neat

heh cool, maybe I missed it, but it would be good if it could pull info from API's at the various hosts/providers. perhaps theres scope for extensions to do this.
Got this installed and it's ok. Running it in a docker swarm. Database had some issues for some reason I couldn't find in the logs. Can't edit some of the servers ever since.
Something somewhere somehow I am building something like that... but with all this BF preparation I have to pause the development, and even then that's a big project.
Let's hope I can make it happen in the next few months but well you know... soon™ Need more time to make it happen
I use notion database for this.
Me 3, but it's way down the list unfortunately. And it would only be for my usage as my coding is to terrible standards and I wouldnt dare expose that haha.
I like NetBox
I had, but then I realized, how many I got, so fuck it.
My brain is the inventory now.
We have a folder in our Seafile, where each server has a folder.
The primary text file of each server has the provider URI, IP addresses, root/user password, YABS report link, base system setup steps, etc.
The server's folder also contains its configuration files, such as netplan.yaml and Caddyfile.
These files allow us to redo the setup precisely, should an incident happen.
We don't write due dates in those files but rely on email invoices.
We also login to each provider monthly to (1) have an idea of due dates (2) rediscover servers that we purchased impulsively but forgot to setup (3) determine excess servers that shall be cancelled or sold.
The folder for a cancelled server is arrived in the "old" subdirectory.
This is where all the cancelled servers go to die, and also serves as a reference for redoing a setup in a different server.
~/.ssh/config
I made a list few months back as well:
@FAT32 if you have a GitHub repo - would be down to collaborate 👀.
I also started working on something like this but yeah life gets in the way.
My current setup is an Airtable base to store the main info. I then use Raycast to query the Airtable API with credentials stored locally.
Glasstower does not look to be out
Might try my-idlers
Unsure
Maybe will just use dashy-dashboard tbh
When I was trying all of them out, one feature I found cool in DomainMod is Data Warehouse letting you use API to fetch panel data. It's basic but cool.
Man...thank you soooo much for this.
i spent an hour writing all.
i am spending wayyyyy tooo much than i expected...i am spending a whopping $507/yr on them and i don't even make that much out of them.
most of them i bought for 2-3yrs so i don't pay often so i don't realize pain
secondly, most of them i bought in deals so i just buy in fomo and don't utilize them.
now this script is a good eye opener for me to consolidate most of them and reduce my un-necessary spending.
if you are owner of repo, i have already made some changes and if you are interested, i can send PRs
I use a good ol' fashion excel spreadsheet
Access database?
Netbox maybe?
This reminds me I should do something similar to replace my Excel workbook..
