The record

Purpose: NetKeep collects, versions, compares, and protects network device configurations for ISPs and infrastructure teams.
Collection: It uses Oxidized 0.37.0 as its configuration collection engine and stores collected versions in permanent Git history.
Configuration history: Users can search, download, and compare configuration versions with unified or side-by-side diffs.
Integrations: NetKeep supports read-only inventory synchronization with LibreNMS and NetBox.
Notifications: Notification channels include email, signed webhooks, and Telegram.
Backups: Full backups can be encrypted and sent to local storage or S3-compatible services, with private Git mirroring also available.
Access controls: The product offers owner, administrator, operator, and reader roles, plus optional TOTP two-factor authentication and passkeys.
Safe mode: In safe mode, NetKeep collects, compares, and exports configurations without applying changes to equipment; arbitrary Ruby or unreviewed drivers weaken this guarantee.
Data protection: The maker warns that configuration backups may contain passwords, tokens, SNMP communities, and sensitive network details, and recommends encrypted storage and restricted administrative access.
Deployment requirements: Installation requires a Linux amd64 or arm64 server, Docker Engine 25 or newer, Docker Compose plugin 2.24 or newer, and persistent storage.
Support: Community support is best-effort with no SLA; commercial implementation, migration, or operational support is arranged by email.
License: NetKeep's original code is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.
