nix-topology
Generate infrastructure and network diagrams as SVGs directly from NixOS configurations.
What is nix-topology?
nix-topology is a NixOS tool that automatically generates infrastructure and network diagrams from your NixOS configurations. It solves the problem of maintaining manual diagrams by extracting data directly from your system definitions and rendering it into visual SVGs. The tool creates both physical connection diagrams and network-centric views to document your infrastructure.
NixOS users and administrators managing multi-host setups, homelabs, or infrastructure who want automated, code-derived documentation. It's particularly useful for those using NixOS configurations across multiple nodes.
Developers choose nix-topology because it eliminates manual diagramming work, ensures diagrams stay synchronized with actual configurations, and provides a declarative way to document infrastructure. Its deep integration with NixOS allows automatic extraction of network and service information that would otherwise require manual tracking.
