Open-source DDI platform — unified DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management. Runs its own BIND9 / PowerDNS / Kea service containers, with a FastAPI control plane and React UI. - spatiumddi/spatiumddi
Spun it up in a lab last weekend and was surprised how clean the React UI feels for an open-source DDI tool. Spent more time on actual DNS config than fighting the platform, which is rare.
Spun up the BIND container in a couple of minutes and the React UI made it easy to add reverse zones without digging through config files. Nice to see IPAM actually tied into the DNS workflows instead of bolted on.
honestly love that it runs its own service containers, saves so much setup hassle. one thing that would be really useful is a built-in DNS zone diff tool so you can preview changes before applying them to BIND, that would have saved me from a couple of oops moments already
A little digging into the GitHub readme would help a lot, especially around database setup and how to actually switch DNS or DHCP backends without nuking your existing leases. A quick start guide plus some example docker-compose snippets for MySQL or Postgres would save a ton of trial and error for first time users like me.
finally a self-hosted option that bundles bind, kea, and ipam without making me glue it all together manually. spun it up locally and the api docs actually made sense, which is rarer than it should be.
finally a self-hosted ddi that doesn't feel like a relic from 2008, the react ui actually makes sense and deploying the bind9 container through the fastapi side was way smoother than i expected
Shipping your own BIND9 and Kea containers instead of just shelling out to a cloud API shows real respect for the people who actually run networks. The FastAPI plus React split also keeps the control plane feeling snappy without making you dig through CLI flags.
