Rackula

Drag and drop rack visualizer

What Is This

Plan your rack layout. Drag your devices in, move them around, export it. It runs in your browser. You can close the tab whenever you want.

What It Do

• Drag and drop devices into your rack so you can frown at them
• Real device images so it actually looks like your gear, not sad grey boxes
• Export to PNG, PDF, SVG for your documentation or for printing and staring at
• QR code sharing - your layout lives in a URL, scan it and it just shows up

Built With Claude

This project was built using AI-assisted development with Claude. I told it what to build and then said "no, not like that" a lot. The AI did a lot of typing. Commits with substantial AI contributions are marked with Co-authored-by tags because we're not going to pretend otherwise.

Acknowledgements

Built for the r/homelab and r/selfhosted communities.

Device types and images are stolen from are compatible with the NetBox devicetype-library because why reinvent that wheel.
