connmap

connmap is an X11 desktop widget that shows location of your current network peers on a world map. (Works on Wayland as well!)

Demo

Installation

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/jafarlihi/connmap --depth 1, install the dependencies (see below), run make install, then run the resulting executable ./connmap.elf.

If you want to run it without attaching it to the terminal then add ampersand at the end of the command: ./connmal.elf &.

You can also add it to your i3wm config to run at startup (make sure it is in the PATH):

exec --no-startup-id connmap.elf

Dependencies

Build dependencies: xlib, libxext, libxfixes, libcairo2

Installation dependencies: unzip

Runtime dependencies: iproute2

Installation for Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S --needed iproute2 libx11 libxext libxfixes cairo unzip

Installation for Ubuntu:

sudo apt install iproute2 libx11-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libcairo2-dev unzip

Config

Installation will create ~/.config/connmap/connmaprc. Default connmaprc looks like this:

location_x 20
location_y 500
small true
black false
update_interval 1

  • location_x/location_y specifies the widget location in your desktop.

  • Setting small to false will resize widget from 500px/250px to 1000px/500px.

  • Setting black to true will draw map outline in black instead of white.

  • update_interval is seconds the application will sleep for before fetching the updated list of network connections.

Limitations

  • Tested only with i3wm, might not work as expected in other DE/WM.

  • Only IPv4 is supported.
