**The problem you're addressing (if any)** It would be nice to be able to o…btain a graphical overview of my Qubes OS machine. **Describe the solution you'd like** Some sort of interactive GUI providing the following features: - each VM displayed as some rectangle with its name inside, colored in the respective VM color - Lines between VMs according to their network connections (VM A has netvm B: `A -- B`) - ideally not overlapping too much - grouping by VM colors supported - filtering or removing certain VMs from the picture is possible - ideally template VMs are displayed hidden behind their instances with only their name visible at the top - temporary renaming of certain VMs just for the picture (for sharing) - adding Notes to VMs is possible - saving and loading (svg format or so?) **Where is the value to a user, and who might that user be?** - easy sharing of one's setup or potential setups - doc - quick identification of erroneous network setups **Describe alternatives you've considered** I currently do it myself with inkscape. **Additional context** Actually something like the pictures of [Joanna's post](https://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2011/03/partitioning-my-digital-life-into.html), just automatically generated from an existing Qubes OS instance. **Relevant [documentation](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/) you've consulted** . **Related, [non-duplicate](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/reporting-bugs/#new-issues-should-not-be-duplicates-of-existing-issues) issues** None?

**Community Dev:** @Zrubi **PoC:** https://gist.github.com/Zrubi/6229d5400bde98…7b1aa8da516553b909 ----- Several users over the years have requested a feature that allows them to visualize the topography of their VMs in the form of a graph, and some of our users have even developed tools that accomplish these. We should consider selecting and integrating one of these tools into Qubes.
