Tiara - Tiny IP Address Registry API Server

Simple and lightweight IPAM server with a clean REST API.
Intended to be used with Terraform and other infrastructure automation tools.

Deployment

A Docker container for Tiara is available from Docker Hub

docker run -d --name tiara \
  -e IPAM_USERNAME=ipam \
  -e IPAM_PASSWORD=ipam \
  -e IPAM_DATABASE_URI=sqlite:////data/ipam.db \
  -p 8000:8000 -v /data:/data \
  ivoronin/tiara:latest

PostgreSQL and MySQL are supported too. Check SQLAlchemy docs for the connection URI format.

Terraform example

This example uses REST API provider.
Please also see examples/vsphere-tf for complete example of using Tiara together with Terraform in vSphere environment.

provider "restapi" {
  uri                   = "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
  username              = "ipam"
  password              = "ipam"
  write_returns_object  = true
  create_returns_object = true
}
# Create network resource
resource "restapi_object" "ipam_network" {
  path = "/network"
  data = jsonencode({
    "address" = "10.0.1.0/25"
  })
}
# Create range resource
resource "restapi_object" "ipam_range" {
  path = "/network/${restapi_object.ipam_network.id}/range"
  data = jsonencode({
    "start" = "10.0.1.40",
    "stop"  = "10.0.1.50",
  })
}
# Obtain next available IP address
resource "restapi_object" "ipam_address" {
  path = "/network/${restapi_object.ipam_network.id}/range/${restapi_object.ipam_range.id}/address"
  data = jsonencode({
    "name" = "example"
  })
}
# Obtained value is accessible as ${restapi_object.ipam_address.api_data.address}

REST API Reference

• When sending a POST or PUT request, all parameters should be passed in the request body as JSON
• Server returns the object created on all write operations (POST, PUT)
• Basic HTTP authentication is being used
• Server prohibits creation of overlapping networks and ranges
• Various other integrity checks are implemented

Network

Schema

{
  "id": "integer",
  "address": "string"
}

Methods

• List all networks: GET /network
• Create network: POST /network, required parameters: address (‘10.0.0.0/8’)
• Read network: GET /network/<network_id>
• Update network: PUT /network/<network_id>, required parameters: address (‘10.0.0.0/8’)
• Delete network: DELETE /network/<network_id>

Range

Schema

{
  "id": "integer",
  "start": "string",
  "stop": "string",
  "network_id": "integer"
}

Methods

• List all ranges: GET /network/<network_id>/range
• Create range: POST /network/<network_id>/range, required parameters: start (‘10.0.0.10’), stop (‘10.0.0.99’)
• Read range: GET /network/<network_id>/range
• Update network: PUT /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>, required parameters: start (‘10.0.0.10’), stop (‘10.0.0.99’)
• Delete network: DELETE /network/<network_id>/range

Address

Schema

{
  "id": "integer",
  "address": "string",
  "name": "string",
  "range_id": "integer"
}

Methods

• List all addresses: GET /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>/address
• Create (request next available) address: POST /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>/address, required parameters: name (string)
• Read address: GET /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>/address/<address_id>
• Update address: PUT /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>/address/<address_id>, required parameters: name (string)
• Delete address: DELETE /network/<network_id>/range/<range_id>/address/<address_id>
