## Description

Scanopy is a self-hosted infrastructure inventory and network discovery tool. It identifies hosts, services, and workloads across subnets to build a live model of network infrastructure, maintaining a searchable catalog of assets.

The system features an interactive network topology visualizer that generates physical, logical, and application dependency diagrams. It maps the nesting chain from physical hardware and hypervisors down to virtual machines and containers, utilizing SNMP for hardware metadata and container APIs for workload discovery.

The platform supports distributed network scanning via scanning agents deployed across isolated VLANs or remote sites. It includes comprehensive asset management for host deduplication, role-based access control for multi-tenant data isolation, and scheduled discovery orchestration.

Scanopy can be installed on private infrastructure using container orchestration or virtualization platforms.
