Section titled “Key Features”
  • Network Discovery — Automatically find hosts and services on your network

Cloud vs Self-Hosted

Section titled “Cloud vs Self-Hosted”

Scanopy is available in two deployment models:

Scanopy Cloud

Section titled “Scanopy Cloud”
  • Managed service — We handle the server infrastructure
  • Quick setup — Create an account and deploy daemons immediately
  • Automatic updates — Always on the latest version

With Scanopy Cloud, you only need to deploy daemons to your networks. The server, database, and UI are managed for you.

Self-Hosted

Section titled “Self-Hosted”
  • Full control — Run everything on your own infrastructure
  • Data sovereignty — All data stays on your servers
  • Customization — Configure server settings, OIDC, and more

Self-hosted users need to install the Scanopy server before deploying daemons. See the Self-Hosted section for setup instructions.

  1. Daemons run on your networks and perform discovery scans
  2. Server stores data and serves the web UI
  3. UI provides visualization, management, and configuration
