yes, it's lightweight. I have tried it though and I don't think
the software is awesome.
the last commit was years ago and there are countless typos
and other errors in the code.
can't recommend at this time.
sadly there has been no commit to the shinken repository
https://github.com/naparuba/shinken/commits/master
since 2019-07-16. There have been rumors that the project
is dead and the enterprise version hasn't seen many changes either.
For me this is a clear indication that the project isn't awesome
at this moment. Maybe this changes in the future but for now
I can't recommend Shinken for daily usage due to the fact that
there might be unfixed bugs or security holes and that it's hard
to find support anywhere else but the parent company.
If you're not okay with the removal of Shinken, please create a PR
and explain yourself.
Submitting your own software is only cool if you have a huge healthy ecosystem. If you have 20 stars on github and you are the sole developer, that's not awesome. Consider what happens when you die (see also: truck factor) and lots of people depend on your software?
as I have recently migrated GestióIP from one host to another
and updated it from 3.2 to 3.4 in the process, I found that
it's no longer awesome because of the following reasons:
* it's hosted and supported on sourceforge
* the install script is >3500 lines of code
* you have to run said script with root
* there are no packages for any major distribution
* it's obfusc… er, written in perl
* the releases don't follow SemVer
* it does way more than IPAM, but other tools do it better
* it doesn't have a REST API (c'mon, it's $currentyear now)
* the weird XML/JSON API is only for the "pro version"
* there are lots of weird translations
* it uses cronjobs and doesn't know what systemd is
* it doesn't follow the Linux FHS
* there's no default config for nginx, only Apache
* did I mention the install script
I refuse to include software written like this on my list of
awesome sysadmin tools. You have to have fun using these tools,
they don't just have to "somehow work". The basic functionality
of GestióIP is there, I guess it's also used in countless legacy
installations worldwide, but I am of the opinion that many
of the design choices the (single?) GestióIP developer made are
not only weird, but also archaic and not awesome.
I recommend to use netbox, ralph or any of the other modern
solutions with a proper API and a proper FOSS development model.
