Quick Start

This guide walks you through your first network discovery with Scanopy.

Cloud Users

Step 1: Start Onboarding

Go to scanopy.net and click Get Started.

1. Select your use case (Homelab, Company, or MSP)
2. Enter your organization name and first network name

Step 2: Set Up Your Daemon

Before creating your account, you'll configure a daemon for your network.

Choose Install Now to get installation commands, or Install Later to skip.

See Installing a Daemon for platform-specific information.

Step 3: Create Your Account

Complete registration with your email and password. Your daemon will automatically connect and begin scanning once your account is created.

Step 4: View Your Network

Once discovery completes (typically 5-10 minutes per /24 subnet):

1. Topology — See your network diagram
2. Manage > Hosts — View discovered devices
3. Manage > Services — See detected services
