## What it is
A self-hosted, real-time port monitoring and discovery tool that automatically maps running services and their ports across servers, Docker containers, and TrueNAS systems. It provides a web dashboard with peer-to-peer aggregation so all hosts can be viewed from a single interface.

## Use cases
- track which ports are in use on my servers
- find port conflicts before deploying a service
- replace my spreadsheet of server ports and services
- monitor docker container port mappings
- see all services across multiple servers from one dashboard
- discover running services on TrueNAS

## When to choose
- you self-host services and need a live, auto-discovered port map without manual entry
- you run Docker or TrueNAS and want platform-aware service discovery
- you want a lightweight single-binary tool with no external database dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need full network-wide port scanning of devices you cannot install agents on
- you require historical metrics, alerting, or long-term monitoring dashboards like Prometheus/Grafana
- you need enterprise-grade multi-tenant monitoring with access controls

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
