WatchYourPorts - self-hosted ports inventory

I'm using a lot of self-hosted apps, both at work and in my homelab. Of course, I can't remember all ports taken by those apps. So, the idea of ports inventory seems reasonable.

Why

Why not just use Portainer or other Docker tool?

  • Not all apps are hosted in Docker. Some things must be run as systemd services.
  • Port may be exposed in Docker, but blocked by firewall.
  • There may be ports exposed to the world, you are not aware of.

So, the purposes of WatchYourPorts are:

  1. Inventory
  2. Security
  3. Monitoring

Monitoring is the last one, because it's not the main purpose of this app. There are already tools for that. WatchYourPorts can do simple port scan on timer and export data to InfluxDB2/Grafana.
