Syscat (Applications)

Description

The System Catalogue.

The first truly comprehensive Single Source of Truth for your IT infrastructure (and more). It's also turned out to work nicely as a general-purpose knowledge-management system.

More of a framework than an application, the Syscat server autogenerates an HTTP API in front of a Neo4j database, enforcing a schema defined within the database itself.

It's an open-source project. The source code is available from Codeberg.

It's also written with the assumption that it will be deployed via Docker. It's possible to run it as a standalone app, but that isn't really catered for at the moment outside of a development setup.

The most important bit of documentation about this app is the HTTP API - it's the entire focus of the app. If you want to understand what's going on in there, I recommend both the conceptual overview and the conceptual background.
