📋 Script Details
ntopng is a network traffic probe and analyser — who talks to whom, which protocols and applications, historical statistics, alerting and flow export. Community Edition. Requested in discussion #8505.
- Official ntop repository:
apt-ntop-stable.debfrompackages.ntop.org/apt-stable/$(get_os_info codename)/all/registers the repo, thenapt install ntopng. Verified the trixie path returns HTTP 200 and shipsntopng 6.6.260803. - No manual dependency list needed — the package pulls redis-server, ndpi, pfring and the rest itself.
- Config at
/etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf; the capture interface is detected from the default route at install time. Web UI on 3000,admin/admin. - Note: out of the box ntopng only sees the container's own traffic. Analysing the network needs a SPAN/mirror port or a NetFlow/sFlow/IPFIX exporter pointed at it — flagged as a warning in the JSON so nobody expects magic.
has_arm: false— onlyx64exists under the trixie suite in the ntop repo.- Update path is apt-based.

Fixed during testing:
dpkg -i /tmp/apt-ntop-stable.debfailed withapt-ntop-stable depends on lsb-release; however: Package lsb-release is not installed.dpkg -idoes not resolve dependencies. Replaced withapt install -y /tmp/apt-ntop-stable.deb, which installs the local .deb and pulls its dependencies from the archive.github-actions commentedon Aug 4, 2026
The ntopng script is ready for testing:
Default credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Log in at http://:3000 with admin/admin and change the password immediately.
By default ntopng only sees the container's own traffic. To analyse the whole network you have to feed it traffic - a mirror/SPAN port on your switch, or a flow exporter (NetFlow/sFlow/IPFIX) from your router. Set the interface with the -i line in /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf.
This is the Community Edition. Retention, historical flow drilldown and some alerting features are reserved for the paid Pro/Enterprise editions.
Installed from the official ntop apt repository (packages.ntop.org/apt-stable), which pulls in redis-server and its other dependencies automatically. Updates go through apt.
Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.

Please, add netflow2ng
cottinghamk commentedon Aug 12, 2026
Like maxindahouze said, Netflow monitoring requires nProbe, which is a paid feature. netflow2ng is a free replacement, but as far as I know, there is no compiled version anywhere.
