Open source alternatives to Fing
Fing scans your network from a phone or desktop app and shows which devices are connected. The three tools here do that job from your own server instead: NetAlertX keeps scanning and alerts you when an unknown device joins, UpSnap finds devices with an nmap scan and wakes them with Wake-on-LAN, and MyIP covers one-off checks such as your IP address, DNS leaks, speed and ping.

How to choose a Fing alternative
- Want the project most likely to keep shipping? Start with MyIP: health 96/100 and 535 commits in the last 90 days.
- Building it into a commercial product? MyIP is MIT, a permissive licence, so changes you ship stay yours.
- Want the quickest install? Every measured option ships a Docker image, so a single compose file is the whole deployment.
- Planning to patch or extend it? Match your stack: Go (Upsnap), Nodejs (MyIP).
- The score measures maintenance, not features: shortlist two and try them with your own data before you migrate.

MyIP scores highest at 96/100, with 535 commits in the last 90 days, 12k stars on GitHub and its latest release (v8.0.0) published 7 days ago. It is also the most active by raw commit count.
Which Fing alternatives run in Docker?
3 of 3 publish a Docker image or Compose file: MyIP, NetAlertX, Upsnap. Docker support contributes 10 of the 100 available health points, because it is the clearest signal that self-hosting is a supported path rather than an afterthought.
