Rackpad includes a Markdown documentation workspace for runbooks, notes, and reference material, plus image attachments on individual device pages.
Open Rackpad -> Docs.
You can:
- Create one documentation page per runbook, room, rack, service, or procedure.
- Search documentation by title or content.
- Edit Markdown and preview the rendered page side by side.
- Insert PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF images directly into the page.
Images inserted into Markdown are stored as data URLs in the documentation page. Use them for diagrams, rack photos, room references, screenshots, or small how-to images.
Open Rackpad -> Devices, choose a device, then open the Images tab.
You can attach reference images with:
- label
- original filename
- notes
- upload date
Good uses include rack-position photos, room-location photos, port labels, wall-mount references, serial label photos, or before/after cabling shots.
- Supported image types: PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF.
- Maximum size: 6 MB per image.
- Large images are stored in the Rackpad database, so keep routine reference images reasonably sized.
Admin backups include:
- documentation pages
- inline Markdown images
- device image attachments
- labels and notes
Before upgrades, download a backup from:
Users -> Backup and release state -> Download backup
The seeded demo environment includes example documentation pages and device images so the workflows are visible immediately after choosing demo data on first run.
