Why it matters

We look beyond stars: what problem it solves, whether it creates real utility, and what makes its approach worth noticing.

Last 90 days

Problem

Addresses the issue of network documentation becoming stale and disconnected from the actual infrastructure state due to manual maintenance.

Practical value

Automates the generation of multi-dimensional views through scheduled scans, significantly reducing the manual effort required for mapping network architecture and dependencies.

Innovation / differentiation

Integrates network discovery with visualization, enabling automated mapping from physical to application layers without requiring device-specific agents.

Leverage potential

Supports multiple export formats and provides an API, facilitating integration into existing operational workflows or as a source of truth.

Why now

The demand for automated asset visualization is growing alongside the increasing complexity of infrastructure and the widespread adoption of cloud-native environments.

Community activity

In the last 90 days there were 33 new issues and 76 pull requests; the bounded issue/PR samples include 19 issue authors and 4 PR contributors, with at least 17 releases.

Maintainer responsiveness

The 33-issue window sample had a 73% close rate, and the 76-pull-request sample had a 80% merge rate. Maintainer-response observations covered 79% of that issue sample, with a 85% response rate and median first response of 3.5 days.

Key highlights

  • Discover hosts, services, and network relationships through scheduled scans
  • Produce L2, L3, workload, and application-dependency views from each scan
  • Support distributed scanning plus Docker and SNMP integrations

Quick start

How it is installed, how hard it is, and where to start.

Where it runs

Docker

Difficulty

Medium — some setup needed

Docker supportedSelf-hostableRuns locally
  1. 01Download the docker-compose.yml file provided by the project.
  2. 02Run docker compose up -d to start the Scanopy service.
  3. 03Open port 60072 on the server in a browser and create the local account.
  4. 04Wait for the first scan, then configure additional segments, SNMP, or Docker discovery for the environment.

Best for

  • Teams that want data on their own servers
  • Developers who want to try it on their machine
  • People who prefer Docker deploys

More about it

Scanopy replaces manually maintained network diagrams with automatic discovery. A scanning daemon inspects the current infrastructure on a schedule and produces four views from the same scan: L2 physical topology, L3 logical networking, workloads, and application dependencies. The goal is to document what is actually running instead of preserving a static drawing that drifts over time.

The project includes more than 230 service definitions for databases, web servers, containers, network infrastructure, and enterprise applications. Multiple daemons can scan separate segments, while Docker and SNMP integrations add container and network-device discovery. Results can be exported as SVG, Mermaid, or Confluence content, and live views can be shared.

The self-hosted edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and has a Docker Compose quick start; a hosted Scanopy Cloud option is also available.

    {"en":"It targets a specific operational problem: network documentation goes stale quickly. Because the model is rebuilt from scheduled discovery instead of redrawn manually, it is more useful for environments that mix multiple VLANs, sites, containers, and traditional network devices.","zh":"它解决的是“网络文档很快过期”这个具体问题：拓扑来自周期性扫描，而不是让运维人员反复重画。对多 VLAN、多站点、容器与传统网络设备混合的环境，比单纯画拓扑图更有持续维护价值。"}
