About LAN Orangutan

LAN Orangutan scans local networks, remembers the labels you give each device so they persist across scans, supports several networks at once and integrates with Tailscale to see devices on a tailnet. Desktop and Docker installation paths differ.

Strengths

  • Labels persist between scans, so unknown devices stay identified
  • Tailscale integration covers devices beyond the local subnet

Limitations

  • Young project with a small feature set
  • Desktop and Linux Docker installation paths are different
