azdocs v0.1.0: Field Survey

This is the first public release of azdocs: a read-only Azure estate collector with local snapshot storage, offline reporting, diagrams, a terminal browser and a native desktop explorer.

Highlights

• Collect inventory, configuration and audit evidence through Azure Resource Graph and targeted ARM requests using a Reader service principal.
• Keep tenant history in SQLite and compare, prune or reopen snapshots without reconnecting to Azure.
• Export assessment-led PDF and DOCX reports, HTML, a multi-page site, Markdown, CSV and XLSX, with optional technical references.
• Produce editable draw.io and Mermaid diagrams plus SVG and PNG renders.
• Explore the same stored evidence in the terminal or the Tauri desktop app, including relationship maps and saved website screenshots.

Install

Install the command-line application with Homebrew:

brew install russmckendrick/tap/azdocs

On Apple Silicon macOS, install the signed and notarized desktop app with:

brew install --cask russmckendrick/tap/azdocs-desktop

Portable CLI archives and desktop installers for macOS, Windows and Linux are attached to this release. Verify direct downloads against azdocs-checksums.sha256.

Before collecting

azdocs needs an Entra application with Reader access to each Azure scope it audits. Run azdocs init, then azdocs check, before the first collection. The project never needs Owner or Contributor access.
