CannyWare isn't built from scratch — it's built on decades of work that thousands of people gave away for free. Every live graph, every secure login, every datapoint we store rides on open-source software written by people we've mostly never met. This page is our thank-you. We don't just use their work — we depend on it, and we honor its licenses with care.
Guido van Rossum & the Python community
The language the whole platform is written in.
“Three decades of a language that stays readable as it scales.”
the Django Software Foundation
The web framework behind our portal and admin.
“Batteries included, security taken seriously, docs that teach.”
Federico Capoano & the OpenWISP community
Device management, provisioning and multi-tenancy.
“A complete, genuinely multi-tenant network platform — given away freely.”
Torkel Ödegaard & Grafana Labs
The dashboards behind our live engine graphs.
“The tool that made time-series data beautiful for everyone.”
Shay Banon & the Elastic team
Stores and searches billions of telemetry datapoints.
“Fast aggregations over enormous time-series, out of the box.”
the PostgreSQL Global Development Group
The rock-solid database under the platform.
“Forty years of correctness you can simply trust.”
Salvatore Sanfilippo & contributors
Powers our real-time channels and caching.
“Beautifully simple, ruthlessly fast.”
Igor Sysoev & the nginx team
The reverse proxy that ties the stack together.
“Quietly serving the internet for two decades.”
the Apache ECharts community
Renders our customer-facing telemetry charts.
“Gorgeous, fast charts with nothing to phone home about.”
the Docker & Moby community
Packages and isolates every service we run.
“Made 'it works on my machine' work everywhere.”
Balázs Scheidler & Axoflow
Ingests CAN telemetry reliably, with disk buffering.
“Never drops a message, even when everything else hiccups.”
ISRG & the web community
Secures every connection with free TLS.
“Encryption for all — no invoice, no excuses.”
…often on evenings and weekends, often without thanks — this platform exists because of you. If you maintain something we rely on and we can help, we'd like to. Open source gave us our foundation; we intend to give back to it.
