# 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/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.
