The source of truth your network has been missing.
Danbyte models your IP space, hardware, cabling and power in one open-source platform — then watches it, traces every run end to end, and flags the moment reality drifts from the plan.
Speaks to the stack you already run
One open-source model for every address, port, cable and check on your network — from a single rack to an air-gapped fleet.
One source of truth
Real devices discovered in; Ansible, Terraform and webhooks out — Danbyte in the middle.
Real devices in, your automation out.
Discover what's actually on the network into one honest model — then feed that same model straight to Ansible, Terraform and signed webhooks. No spreadsheet, no drift, no second copy.

Trace any run end to end — through panels, PDUs and fibre.
Cabling is modelled as real infrastructure. Follow a circuit through patch panels and PDUs, trace fibre to the individual strand, and see it all on a live, port-accurate topology canvas built from your actual wiring.
- Topology canvas
- Fibre strands (TIA-598-C)
- Rack elevations
- Floor plans & camera FOV
- Cable trays → pull sheet
- Circuits, VPN & wireless
Watch what's up. Reconcile what's really there.
Remote Outposts probe each site over 443 — even NAT'd or air-gapped — with ping, SNMP and nmap. Reality lands in a read-only observed layer with a drift inbox you accept on your own terms.
- Eight check types
- Prefix-inherited checks
- SNMP observed-vs-intended
- Drift inbox & nmap sweep
- Slack / Teams / PagerDuty
- Runs fully air-gapped

Outposts dial out over 443, probing each site's devices with ping, SNMP and nmap — even NAT'd or airgapped. The core never reaches in.
Reach every site — even NAT'd or air-gapped.
Drop a lightweight Danbyte Outpost at each site. It probes local devices with ping, SNMP and nmap and only ever dials OUT to the core over 443 — the core never reaches in. Ideal for NAT'd, isolated and air-gapped networks.
- Dial-out over 443
- Per-site Outposts
- Ping / SNMP / nmap
- NAT & air-gap friendly
- Central drift inbox
- No inbound access
Secure by design
Permissions, isolation and a tamper-evident trail aren't add-ons — they're columns in the data model.
- Grant-based RBAC
- Tenant + VRF isolation
- MFA + LDAP / AD
- Automatic audit log
- Field-by-field diffs
- Scoped API tokens
Governance that stands up to an audit.
Permissions, isolation and a tamper-evident trail aren't add-ons — they're columns in the data model. Every create, edit and delete is logged automatically, with a readable field-by-field diff.
- Grant-based RBAC

Floor plans that stay live
Place racks, tiles and cameras on a real footprint — utilization and status right on the floor.
See it on the floor — and on the map.
Place racks, tiles and cameras on a real footprint, with camera fields-of-view and live status right on the plan. Zoom out to a geographic map of every site and the fibre running between them.
- Grid floor plans
- Camera FOV cones
- Rack & device tiles
- Cable trays
- Geographic site map
- Inter-site cable routes
Built in the open, shipping constantly.
Danbyte is developed in public — releases, security rounds and docs land in the open. Here's the latest from the repository.
View all activity on GitHubSame software. Your call on who runs it.
Identical software either way — the rows below are the only differences. There's no feature you unlock by choosing Cloud; you're paying for operations, not software.
| Capability | Self-hosted | Danbyte Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Software | The full open-source Danbyte | The exact same open-source Danbyte |
| Features | 100% — everything | 100% — identical, nothing extra or withheld |
| Price | Free, forever | Paid managed hosting (ops, not software) |
| Who runs it | You (your server / VM) | We do — a private instance just for you |
| Updates & upgrades | You apply them | We apply them for you |
| Backups | You configure them | Automated by us |

| Air-gapped / offline | Fully supported | N/A (hosted) |
| Lock-in | None | None — export and self-host anytime |
Every feature listed anywhere on this site is in both columns. Danbyte Cloud is managed hosting of the same free software.
Put your whole network on the record.
Free and open source to self-host, or a private managed instance when you'd rather not. Either way, it's the same Danbyte.
