Quick Start
Deploy Sentari and scan your first device in under 30 minutes.
Prerequisites
- A Linux server for the Sentari server (Docker or bare-metal)
- At least one device with software to scan (Python, npm, NuGet, Java, OS packages, or containers)
- Network connectivity between agent and server (HTTPS, port 443)
1. Deploy the Server
# Clone and start with Docker Compose git clone https://github.com/sentari-dev/sentari.git cd sentari docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
The server starts on port 8000 with the dashboard available at your server's IP address.
2. Install the Agent
# Download the agent binary curl -LO https://your-server/api/v1/agent/download # Make executable and run chmod +x sentari-agent ./sentari-agent --server https://your-server --enroll
The agent registers with the server, receives its mTLS certificate, and begins scanning automatically.
3. View Results
Open the dashboard in your browser. You'll see your device, its software environments, and all installed packages within minutes of the first scan.
