Retiarium Puts the Network on the Floor Plan
A self-hosted network documentation tool maps buildings, cabinets, ports, cable paths, VLANs, and IP addresses onto floor plans.
Field notes
Retiarium models the physical and logical layers together: floor plans hold rooms and devices, while cabinets hold equipment in height units and preserve front-versus-back patch-panel connections. Its stated data model uses a portable SQLite file, and its validation layer marks duplicate IP addresses and gateways outside their subnet. The homepage also describes role-based access, backups, a recycle bin, and an offline activation path for installations without internet access.
