If you self-host anything, you’ve had the sinking feeling: I forgot what I deployed where. Two open-source projects promise to solve that, but they take radically different paths to get there.
Scanopy (5.2K★) is a Rust daemon + JS UI that auto-generates network topology diagrams — L2 physical maps, L3 logical subnets, workload container trees, and application dependency graphs. It launched ~10 months ago and is the new hotness.
NetAlertX (6.8K★) is a Python/PHP asset intelligence framework that’s been around since late 2021. It discovers devices, tracks changes, fires alerts via 80+ notification gateways, and integrates with Home Assistant, Prometheus, and arbitrary webhooks.
