🤔 What is Lanbassador?

Lanbassador is an web app that lets you easily identify unknown hosts in your network. If you happen to work with plenty of IoT devices that often lack labels, this utility is for you!

🖥️ How do I use it?

First, you must open the Lanbassador page in your browser. Then, all you have to do is plug in the device you want to the server, and wait for it to establish a link with the server so that is shows up on the page, et voilà!

🗒️ What should I have before starting?

This web app is intended to be self-hosted on premises. More specifically, this web app works best when installed to a standalone machine, server or workstation (headless or not). Unless you're intending to host this on your own workstation, the host machine must have at least two network interface controller (NICs) so that you can access the web app remotely from one NIC, and plug in the device in the other NIC. A Wi-Fi NIC can be used in lieu of an extra Ethernet port, so laptops (and computers with Wi-Fi antennas) can be used.

🚀 How do I deploy Lanbassador?

Lanbassador is under active development, and is lacking some features, but it is ready for testing nonetheless. To see a list of features and bug fixes that are on the roadmap, visit the Lanbassador issue tracker.
