portracker

Purpose / CSI Use Case

Self-hosted real-time service and port discovery for Linux, Docker, and TrueNAS, with peer-to-peer multi-server visibility and topology-style grouping to reduce manual port tracking and avoid deployment conflicts.

Source Notes

Verified public GitHub repository mostafa-wahied/portracker, default branch main, not archived. README confirms automatic host port discovery, Docker and TrueNAS-specific collectors, internal vs published container port visibility, embedded SQLite, peer-to-peer monitoring across servers, hierarchical parent-child grouping, optional TrueNAS VM/system discovery, optional authentication, UDP scanning option, and autoxpose integration. Security note: standard deployment uses pid:host, SYS_PTRACE, SYS_ADMIN, AppArmor unconfined, and Docker socket access; README provides a Docker socket proxy pattern for reduced Docker API exposure. Strong CSI fit for service inventory, homelab/server mapping, port-conflict prevention, and infrastructure visibility; validate privilege model before production/client use.
