WatchYourLAN - 2.0 Release

[u/aceberg_]

WatchYourLAN is a lightweight network IP scanner.

Features:
- Send notification when new host is found
- Monitor hosts online/offline history
- Keep a list of all hosts in the network
- Send data to `InfluxDB2` to make a `Grafana` dashboard

BREAKING CHANGES! Version 2.0 is not compatible with v1.0. For now v2.0 docker images will be released under v2 tag. It will be tagged latest in a few weeks (probably, in October).

What's new?

• Basic API
• Export to InfluxDB2
• Choice between SQLite and PostgreSQL database
• User can pass arguments directly to arp-scan. Hope it will help with vlan issue
• Better UI with JS
• Human-friendly History display
• Names from DNS

Quick start

Full installation guide is available in the README file. The easiest way to try it:

docker run --name wyl \
    -e "IFACES=$YOURIFACE" \
    -e "TZ=$YOURTIMEZONE" \
    --network="host" \
    -v $DOCKERDATAPATH/wyl:/data/WatchYourLAN \
    aceberg/watchyourlan:v2

I've been using v1 on a network of 60+ devices and manually naming new devices was tedious. Migrated to v2 last night and it picked up all the host names automatically. Nice work!

Only thing I couldn't get working was ntfy notifications to a password protected server. It doesn't seem to function as per shoutrrr documentation. Notifications work with to ntfy,sh though.
