I'm on the hunt for an IP Address Management (IPAM) solution and I'm also interested in features like domain health checks, certificate monitoring, and reminders. Ideally, I'd like something I can self-host, but I'm open to cloud options as well. Is PHPIPAM still a viable choice or are there better alternatives out there?

I’ve had a good experience with Netbox for IPAM. It's great, but it doesn’t offer the extra features you're looking for, like certificate checks. For that, you might need another tool like Uptime Kuma.
We use PHPIPAM, and it's been working well for us. For certificate monitoring, we have Checkmk running to handle that part. It's a solid combo for managing IP addresses and keeping an eye on certs.
I used NIPAP at my last job with a big ISP, and it was quite effective. Netbox is another strong alternative if you're looking for something reliable. Just depends on your specific needs!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into those.
I still use PHPIPAM for basic VLAN and IP tracking at home, and it works nicely. As for cert tracking, I recommend using something like Uptime Kuma or Checkmk—they're tailored for monitoring.
If you're looking for something simpler, there's always Microsoft IPAM. It's free and easy to deploy, which might fit the bill depending on your setup.
That's good to know! Does PHPIPAM handle DHCP options too?
