Ask HN: Best open-source tool to help create a network architecture diagram?
Hi HN - I'd like to be able to map my network and understand what software is deployed (along with versions, connections / APIs, and other details). Are there any open-source solutions? Ideally the output is a list of tools along with a visual which I could use as the starting point for a network architecture diagram. Thanks!

- stargrazer 8y agoUse https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox to record your network information. Then you can create topology maps with dot/graphviz. https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/additional-features/topology-maps/ https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/additional-features/... Someone has a tutorial on using graphviz directly: https://mikegriffin.ie/blog/20110308-a-graphviz-tutorial https://mikegriffin.ie/blog/20110308-a-graphviz-tutorial
