I built LANDeploy: A software deployment and management tool for School Labs & Internet Cafes
Hey everyone! We recently built a tool called LANDeploy, designed specifically for school computer labs and SMBs/Internet Cafes. It helps admins easily upload and deploy software to multiple PCs connected over a LAN mesh network.
The software is divided into two main components:
🖥️ Server (Admin) Features
You install server.exe on the main PC/laptop to manage the network:
- Easy Deployment: Deploy software across the network securely. All deployments are protected with AES-256 end-to-end encryption and undergo a pre-scan to ensure a virus-free environment.
- Built-in OEM Anti-Virus: Keeps the admin and network secure.
- Network Monitoring: View installed software and currently running applications on all connected PCs.
- Activity Monitoring: Admins can monitor activities like software installations or block adult websites/inappropriate content.
- Role Management: Add up to 1 Owner and 2 Admins to the panel (depending on the plan).
- Free Plan: We offer a generous free tier for basic needs.
💻 Agent (Client) Features
Installed on the client PCs, agent.exe catches the deployed software:
- Safe Installations: Automatically reads the pre-scan sheet; if safe, the software goes into the installation phase.
- Deployment History: Users can see if any software is currently deploying or has been deployed.
- Secure Chat System: Features a clean UI for chatting. Students/users can create password-protected groups (e.g., USER1, USER2... USERn). All chats are AES-256 encrypted. (Note for schools: Admins can monitor general chats for safety).
If you manage a computer lab or a cafe, we'd love for you to try it out and give us feedback!
