Caffoot
Work Together With a Shared Inventory
Caffoot Lite's self-hosted Docker edition allows multiple authorised users to access the same centrally stored records for devices, IP addresses and network racks.
Each person has an individual account, helping administrators manage access and understand recorded changes.
Give People the Access They Need
Administrators can manage access independently for Devices, IP Address Management and Network Racks.
- No Access: The section is unavailable to that user.
- Read: View authorised information without changing it.
- Edit: Change permitted records, subject to MFA and cross-section checks.
For example, a colleague can edit IPAM while only viewing Devices and Racks. New accounts start without inventory access until an administrator grants permissions.
Protect Your Infrastructure Records
Administrators create accounts and manage permissions. MFA is required for administrators and editors; read-only ordinary users do not need MFA enrolment just to view their allowed records.
Permissions apply to actual changes, including fields shared between sections, so editing one area does not automatically grant rights to unrelated fields.
Prevent Conflicting Device Changes
One user can hold a temporary edit reservation on a particular device while other authorised users continue viewing it or editing other devices.
Reservations release on save or cancel and abandoned reservations normally expire after five minutes.
Understand What Has Changed
History and the Audit Trail help authorised users review recorded changes and activity according to their permissions.
Activity history is not a replacement for an external backup of your persistent data.
Manage Your Own Account
Caffoot Lite v2.1 improves My Account settings for personal details, passwords and MFA.
Optional verified email and guided password recovery are available when administrator SMTP delivery is configured. Recovery does not bypass MFA.
Built for Small Teams and Home Labs
Whether you manage equipment for a small business or share responsibility for a home lab, Caffoot Lite helps keep infrastructure documentation organised on your own server.
