## Description

Linktrace is self-hosted cable tracing for network admins. Record your sites, rooms and racks, the devices in them (switches, routers, firewalls, patch panels, wall jacks, servers) and every cable between two ports, with its label, type, color and length. Click any port to trace the circuit end to end: through patch panel and wall jack pass-throughs, from the switch port to the desk. Each device's faceplate is drawn like the real hardware: laid out automatically, or built by hand on a snap-to-grid editor and shared by every device of the same model. Port maps stack devices, or a whole rack, top to bottom and draw every cable between their ports, with labelled stubs for cables that leave the map. Save maps and reopen them later. Generate ports in bulk (48-port switches, 24-port patch panels with front and rear) and duplicate devices with numbered names. Multiple people can use one

## Common questions

### Which Docker port and volumes are used for Linktrace?

The container listens on port 8080. Persist /data for the SQLite database and /keys for the login-cookie signing keys.

### What happens if the keys folder is not kept after an update?

Keep /keys with the data, or everyone is signed out after an update.

### How can I back up or migrate Linktrace to another instance?

Export and import everything as one JSON file. The container also keeps the SQLite database in /data, so that folder should be preserved for backups.

### Can device templates be shared between Linktrace instances?

Device templates can be saved with their ports, pairs, and faceplate layout, and shared as files with other Linktrace installs.
