Renders an r/homelab-style network diagram from a YAML inventory (Python → SVG/PNG). Written with Claude.

About the project

A Python script that renders an r/homelab-style SVG/PNG network diagram from a YAML inventory. Layout coordinates are hand-placed in build.py, so it is a starting point rather than a general-purpose tool.

Useful for
  • Build a diagram of your own homelab network by editing inventory.yaml and coordinates in build.py
  • Publish a redacted version of the diagram with redacted.com and generic SSIDs
  • Adapt the project to your server using Claude Code and the CLAUDE.md file

How to get started

What you need

  • Python 3 with PyYAML (Pillow is optional, but makes label widths exact)
  • rsvg-convert (librsvg) for the PNG
  • the fonts Fira Sans and Fira Code installed (found via fontconfig)
python3 fetch_icons.py # downloads the service icons into icons/ (once)
python3 build.py # → out/homelab.svg + out/homelab.png (redacted)
python3 build.py --unredacted # → out/homelab-unredacted.svg + .png

3.4 Cooling Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0250500November 7, 2026November 14, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:04–10:34: 985 → 1000 stars (+15). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +36 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 22% of the previous 5 days.
  • The repository is 7 days old and already has 1,000 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • About 5 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 996.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
