When you hit 'address already in use' or need to audit what's running locally, you end up squinting at lsof -iTCP or ss -tlnp ou
A new tool called port-map has been developed to simplify the process of auditing TCP ports on local machines. It addresses the common issue of encountering 'address already in use' errors by providing a user-friendly web dashboard. This tool runs on Node.js and requires no dependencies, making it easy to use for developers.
- ▪Port-map scans all listening TCP ports and presents the information in a filterable web dashboard.
- ▪The tool is built using pure Node.js and runs lsof on macOS or ss on Linux to gather port information.
- ▪It was created to alleviate the frustration developers face when dealing with complex command line outputs.
