Installation
This tutorial gets vScope running and reachable so you can add your first data source – keeping everything in one place.

Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Server meets system requirements.
- Required ports are open internally.
- A vScope trial, or purchased license code.
- Download: Windows installer

- By default, vScope installs the required components in C:\Program Files\vScopeServer. The install folder can be changed during installation, but using the default location is recommended.
- Finish; the vScope Server Service starts automatically.
- If needed, manage via Windows Services (
vScope Server Service). - Ensure firewall allows the UI port (default 80) and discovery ports.
- Download: latest .deb
- Install:
sudo apt install ./latest-amd64.deb - Service should start automatically (
systemctl status vscope-server). - Note: Windows WMI inventory is not supported on Linux; use PowerShell/WinRM for Windows targets.
- Create data volume:
docker volume create vscope-data - Run:
docker run -d -p 8080:80 -v vscope-data:/data europe-docker.pkg.dev/isl-vscope/release/vscope:latest - Browse to
http://<host>:8080/. - Note: No WMI support; use PowerShell/WinRM for Windows targets.
