For those unaware, Oxidized is a backup tool for network devices.
It seems that the Oxidized Github page is quite inactive. CI/CD pipeline failing due to outdated ruby version, last commit on master somewhere in Februari, owner seems inactive on Git, no responses on Issues etc.
I'm thinking of implementing Oxidized as this backup solution because:
- Its open source
- Wide support of the community with many models
- It being recommended widely on this subreddit and as replacement for RANCID.
- Has an API
- Does not use traditional scheduling (start a backup job with 300 devices at 02:00. Instead, spread them out over, let's say, 24 hours.)
But now I'm debating due to the project being quite inactive. What do you all suggest / use? Is there an alternative that fulfills these needs or should I go for Oxidized regardless?
