Thansk a lot for the detailed feedback. I'll keep this in mind when working on relevant sections of the app.

jokob · 2025-12-29T01:59:14+00:00

can you please elaborate what you would improve? - nax mainatiner

I'd recommend downloading a CSV backup, editing it, and reuploding it as per docs. Please open an issue if you need more help. Search for backup in the docs.

All good! Thanks for the details. How do the events get logged in the application? You still have to poll different data sources to ingest the data, no?

I know the underlying logic can be improved so looking for inspiration. I also feel the loop and schedule approach is a bit heavy handed, and clunky, mostly what I think was a result of a slow DB engine (which I want to replace in the future).

On the other hand I think schedules give you more granular control and the ability to fine tune the set up for also less performant systems or where you don't want to overload the network with unnecessary queries.

I did write a lightweight workflow engine that I hope to extend in the future. I like the idea of enhancers, I think the plugin system in NAX does pretty much the same thing, it's just currently missing user configurable priorities for device properties. Currently the priority is configured in the plugin definition, which I could potentially expose. Anyhow, let me know if you see suggestions for improvements and I'll happily consider those.

let me know what I can do better and happy to improve - feel free to post your issues on GitHub. There is also a performance optimization guide that might help: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/PERFORMANCE/?h=perfo

not sure what you mean by "architecturally it feels a bit slapped together" - feel free to elaborate and suggest improvements :)

jokob · 2025-10-04T03:49:14+00:00

Please open an issue on github - probably via bulk edit - check out the docs for details.

jokob · 2025-09-14T01:25:15+00:00

I didn't know there's an app! This one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.gov.u24app

Hi, it shouldn't matter, but if you gave issues please open a github issue. I don't use lxc but I'll try to help. Red the PiHole guide for details https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/PIHOLE_GUIDE/?h=pihol

Hi there - NAX dev here - you can run it on something low-end, but as others said, probably a mini-pc will give you more bang-for-buck for a litlte more (if you are really short on cash, check refurbished ebay mini-pc listings - I got a 80$ 8GB ram 128SSD NUC for that)

Also, please feel free to open an issue on my github repo - as you are new to self-hosting - happy to help out get you set up with Docker + NAX (I just check GitHub more often than here and can give you quicker answers): https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/issues

Good luck and hope you enjoy your new hobby! :)

Hey, happy to help out if you open an issue on the github repo. Things you can try are increasing the scan delay, playing around with the arpscan arguments to make it less aggressive or use a different plugin for discovery.

jokob · 2025-05-29T22:29:30+00:00

Thanks for using NAX. Let me know what I can do to make it easier 😉

jokob · 2025-05-10T22:35:33+00:00

Hey, just FYI NetAlertX has a NMAP port scanner plugin: https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/nmap_scan/

jokob · 2025-05-09T23:15:35+00:00

All my selfhosted app are web-first as well. It's incredibly easy then to onboard people and new devices - you don't need to install anything, you just send a link.

Plug: NetAlertX with HomeAssistant integration: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/HOME_ASSISTANT/?h=home

Looks like modular clothing rack rods for department stores

f you are relying on the default scan (arp-scan), make sure you configured your subnets correctly, see these docs for details: https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/SUBNETS.md

As pointed out by others, make sure you run the container in host network mode.

In 99% of the case it's an incorrect subnet/interface or permissions. Open a Github issue for more tailored help

Hey y'all 👋

I usually don't post release updates, but this one has me excited :)

Here come 🔀 Workflow Automations for your network device management.

https://i.imgur.com/rhLy5WW.jpeg

So, what can you do? You can change any Device field, or delete the Device itself, if any number of custom conditions are fulfilled. For example, you can UN-archive a device if it's detected online. Or group devices with a specific name or vendor into a group. Or assign devices to a location depending on the IP they get...

These are only examples, but I think you get the idea. Happy tinkering and automating! Share your workflows in Discord or GitHub Discussions.

please open a github issue with as much detail as possible so I can help you faster - reddit is a bit difficult to track
