dnetmap

dnetmap is a lightweight, fast, and readable CLI tool to inspect Docker networks on your local machine.

It extracts key information such as:

• Network name and ID
• IP range (subnet)
• Associated Linux bridge interface
• Whether the network is linked to a Docker Compose project (and if so, which one)

Perfect for troubleshooting containers, auditing Compose environments, or visualizing your local network topology.
