Alternatively if you're tired of manual DNS configuration:
FreeIPA, like AD but fer ur *Nix boxes
Configures users, sudoer group, ssh keys, and DNS in one go.
Also lotta services can be integrated using LDAP auth too.
So far I've got proxmox, jellyfin, zoneminder, mediawiki, and forgejo authing against freeipa in top of my samba shares.
Ansible works too just because its uses ssh, but I've yet to figure out how to build ansible inventories dynamically off of freeIPA host groups. Seen a coupla old scripts but that's about it.
Current freeipa plugin for it seems more about automagic deployment of new domains.
Having a very similar infrastructure, I would love to know if you ever find anything that works for this. I've been maintaining a SnipeIT instance manually, but that's a real PITA. Tried the same with ITSM-NG, but haven't even lookid in it for months.
