What software is there to store server settings?

Question

System administration

Now I store a list of servers in use in an Excel file, indicating the hostname, domains, IP addresses, cities of location, key services, various labels, categories, etc. I want to transfer it to some kind of management software where you can store this data + perform various maintenance, configuration, access.
For system administrators, there is RackTables ( racktables.org ), where the emphasis is on equipment placement, port switching. I would like something similar, but more related to the architecture of the service.
Tell me what software can be used for this in the categories free / paid.
Upd. consul.io + terraform.io + docker

Answer 1

Puppet, Chef, Ansible, SaltStack.
Ansible is in trend now.

Answer 2

ansible is more than suitable, especially if you start reading about hostvars right away.

Answer 3

Ansible + docker: www.ansible.com/docker

Answer 4

without prefixes, only by sorting through all the data and auto-detect what kind of request it is.
or make a prefix / suffix in the parameters and calmly split at the router level as usual.

Answer 5

You can try changing type/model and type/ to /category/type/model/ via .htaccess.
That is, if there are only two parameters, then category is missing, if there is only one parameter, then both category and type are missing.
The user will type as he wants, and the framework will receive a normal url.
Something like this:

RewriteRule ^([/]+)/([^/]+)/ default/$1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([/]+)/ default/default/$1 [L]

But from the point of view of seo, this can then cause problems, it will be necessary to indicate the canonical link.
