⁠Docker Network Visualizer

⁠What is it?

The Docker Network Visualizer is a small web app for displaying docker containers, networks, and connections between them.

⁠How does it work?

This app uses the docker api and plantuml⁠ to create a svg picture which is shipped out via http and can be watched via browser. The picture is not cached and always created when you call the app via http.

⁠Why do I need this?

I developed this app because I lost track of the containers, networks and virtual hosts (I use the nginx-proxy of jwilder) on my server. If you want to have a graphical option to see all these things, I can recommend this small app.

⁠How do I use it?

It is really simple to use this app:

docker run -p 1234:1234 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro bosix/docker-network-visualizer

You can now open your browser and go to http://localhost:1234⁠.

If you want to learn more about the configuration, please follow the link at the bottom of this page to my gitlab repository.
