From docker run to full visibility.
Everything an evaluator needs before the demo: how to deploy SAMURAI, what it runs on, and how licensing works. No sales call required to get started.
Quick start
The entire install is one container. Pull the image, run it, open the dashboard. A typical deployment is serving data in about five minutes.
- 01Pull beyrak44/samurai from Docker Hub.
- 02Run the container on a single VM. MongoDB is bundled in the image.
- 03Open the dashboard and register your first devices.
- 04Background sync takes it from there.

Common questions
How much does SAMURAI cost?
Evaluation is free: a test license ships with the Docker Hub image, no email required. Production licensing is per-deployment and sized by device count, with no per-user seats and no usage metering. Request a quote via the contact form; replies typically arrive within 24 hours.
Is there a free version of SAMURAI?
There is a free test license for evaluation, available on the Docker Hub page with no email required. It runs the full feature set on your real devices. Production use requires a per-deployment license.
How long does deployment take?
A typical deployment is serving data in about five minutes: one docker run on a single VM, MongoDB bundled in the image.
Does SAMURAI modify my devices?
No. Device access is read-only: show commands over SSH and read calls on vendor APIs. SAMURAI observes and reports; it never pushes configuration.
What data leaves my network?
None. SAMURAI is fully self-hosted with no telemetry, and runs in air-gapped environments with an offline IEEE OUI database.
