About This Project
Rackula is a modern web-based rack visualization tool that transforms how IT professionals and homelab enthusiasts plan their physical infrastructure. Built with Svelte and TypeScript, it provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for designing server rack layouts, eliminating the need for complex CAD software or spreadsheet-based planning.
The tool excels at capacity planning and visualization, allowing users to arrange equipment in virtual racks, track U-space utilization, and ensure proper layout before purchasing or rearranging physical hardware. Its self-hosted architecture means your infrastructure designs remain private and under your control, making it ideal for organizations with security requirements.
With support for network infrastructure components, AV equipment, and standard datacenter gear, Rackula bridges the gap between enterprise DCIM solutions and simple diagramming tools. The visual feedback helps prevent costly mistakes like power distribution issues, cooling concerns, or space miscalculations that plague physical deployments.
Whether you're managing a single homelab rack or planning a multi-rack datacenter deployment, Rackula's lightweight design and intuitive interface make infrastructure planning accessible without sacrificing functionality or requiring extensive training.
