NEXUS

Project Purpose

To give developers and homelab enthusiasts an intuitive, self-hosted single pane of glass into their local physical and virtual networks.

Overview & Architecture

NEXUS is an open-source platform engineered for defensive home lab monitoring and local infrastructure visibility. It automatically discovers active devices on authorized subnets, generates hierarchical network topologies, inspects TCP port banners, tracks round-trip latency in real time, and logs network state changes.

Verified Features

• Automated local subnet sweep and ARP table device discovery
• Hierarchical visual topology mapping of network gateways, switches, and hosts
• Non-intrusive TCP port and service banner discovery
• Real-time WebSocket latency tracking and threshold alerting
• Docker containerized deployment ready for local servers
