connmap is an X11 desktop widget that shows location of your current network peers on a world map.

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/jafarlihi/connmap --depth 1, run make install, then run the resulting executable ./connmap.exe.

Build dependencies: xlib, libcairo2

Runtime dependencies: ss utility of iproute2 package

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.

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

• Only IPv4 is supported.
