About Nautobot

Nautobot is a self-hosted platform that acts as a network source of truth: a central record of devices, addresses and other network data that automation can rely on. It also serves as a base for network automation workflows built on top of that data.

It ships with Docker support, an install script and documentation. It suits network teams moving from spreadsheets to a structured inventory that feeds their automation.

Strengths

  • Central source of truth for network data
  • Built as a base for network automation
  • Docker and install script provided
  • Very active codebase

Limitations

  • Requires server setup and maintenance
  • Aimed at organisations rather than home networks
