What is Octofleet?
Octofleet is an open-source endpoint management platform for IT teams managing Windows and Linux devices. Its dashboard brings together hardware and software inventory, performance monitoring, remote jobs, software deployments and security findings. Agents collect endpoint data and communicate with a centrally hosted backend.
The platform includes patch rollout controls, configuration baselines, vulnerability tracking, software license metering and repository snapshots for promoting content between environments. Remote operations include a browser-based terminal and live screen viewing. Deployment uses Docker Compose with a web frontend, backend and database, while a REST API exposes management functions.
Self-hosting leaves infrastructure operation and production security configuration with the deploying team. The configuration guide calls for replacing default credentials, restricting browser origins, enabling TLS through a reverse proxy and keeping database access local. Vulnerability scanning is rate-limited without an NVD API key.
Key capabilities

- Patch verification Post-deployment checks that updates were applied.
- Security NVD/CVE vulnerability scanning and CIS benchmark templates.
- Remote access A browser terminal and live screen mirroring.
- Queries and licenses A query engine over 22 tables and a software catalog for license tracking.
Where Octofleet fits
- Endpoint inventory Hardware inventory covers CPU, RAM, disks and network, alongside software inventory with version tracking.
- Software deployment and rollouts Patch rings move updates from Canary to Pilot to Broad, and remote jobs run in PowerShell or Bash.
- Patch management A post-deploy scan confirms that updates were applied.
- Vulnerability scanning NVD and CVE scanning comes with fleet-wide aggregation.
- Configuration baselines CIS benchmark templates cover Windows Server 2022 and 2025 and Windows 11.
- Remote terminal and screen viewing Control devices from a single dashboard, with a browser terminal and live screen mirroring.
- Content snapshots Freeze repository state at a point in time and promote content between environments.
- Query engine Query 22 tables across fleet, software, security, metrics and events.
