What is ipmideck?

ipmideck is a self-hosted, web-based IPMI management platform. It connects to your servers’ BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) over IPMI 2.0 and gives you real-time sensor monitoring, intelligent fan-curve control (FanPilot), remote power management, and hardware event logs — all from your browser, no CLI required. ipmideck runs entirely on your own network. There is no cloud, no telemetry, and no external dependency: it talks directly to your BMCs and stores everything locally.
ipmideck needs to reach your BMCs over the network on UDP port 623 (the IPMI/RMCP+ port). When you run it in Docker, use --network host so the container can reach BMCs on your LAN directly.

​
Quick start

The fastest way to try ipmideck is Docker: 
docker run --network host ipmideck/ipmideck:latest
Then open http://<your-ip>:3000 in a browser and follow the setup wizard to add your first server. Prefer Python packaging? Install from PyPI instead: 
pip install ipmideck
The pip package requires ipmitool to be installed on the host.
ipmideck is in pre-release: the published Docker image and PyPI package are coming soon. The commands above are the exact commands you will run once they are live.

​
What you get

  • Sensor Monitoring — live temperature, fan RPM, voltage, and power, with up to a year of history.
  • FanPilot — a drag-and-drop fan-curve editor with a safe autonomous control loop.
  • Power Control — On, Soft Off, Hard Off, Reset, and Power Cycle with a full audit log.
  • System Event Log (SEL) — browse and export your BMC’s hardware event log.
  • Hardware Inventory (FRU) — serial numbers, part numbers, and manufacturer data.
  • Multi-Server Dashboard — manage many BMCs from a single instance.
