connmap connmap is an X11 desktop widget that shows location of your current network peers on a world map. (Works on Wayland as well!) Installation Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/h2337/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 map_width 1000 black false update_interval 1 location_x / location_y specifies the initial widget location in your desktop (you can later drag/drop the widget with mouse if you are not using a desktop environment that treats mouse drag as multi-select). map_width specifies the custom pixel width of the map. Height is automatically calculated as width/2. Examples: map_width 500 creates a 500×250px map map_width 1000 creates a 1000×500px map map_width 1500 creates a 1500×750px map map_width 2000 creates a 2000×1000px map 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.
