Get Started

Kuwaiba is an open-source, enterprise-grade network & service inventory for telecom and IT. This page gives you the fastest paths to evaluate, install, and go deeper.

1) Choose your path

Option A — Quick local evaluation (Docker)

If you want to explore Kuwaiba quickly, start with Docker images:

• Docker Hub images (Neotropic): https://hub.docker.com/r/neotropic/kuwaiba
• Recommended for demos, PoCs, and local labs.

If you already have a docker-compose.yml from your team, use it. Otherwise, follow the installation guide below.

Option B — Stable release packages (SourceForge)

For release archives (server/client, sample DBs, and related artifacts):

• SourceForge project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kuwaiba/
• Files / downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kuwaiba/files/

Option C — Documentation (GitHub)

The official documentation repository is maintained by Neotropic:

• Docs repository: https://github.com/NeotropicSAS/kuwaiba-docs

Option D — Read online

• Read the docs (community mirror): https://kuwaiba.readthedocs.io/

2) Recommended first steps (evaluation checklist)

1. Define the scope: what you want to model (transport, access, mobile RAN, sites, services, etc.).
2. Pick a starter use case from /use-cases/.
3. Install and confirm you can:
   • create a few object types,
   • relate them (ports ↔ links ↔ devices ↔ sites),
   • run a basic query/report,
   • export/import sample data.
