Does anybody know an open source self hosted application to create diagrams? Like draw.io or something like that (lemm.ee)

Excalidraw is great, but can be a pain to set up locally if you require the collaboration features.

Have you done it? I'm interested in this. Any tips and tricks? Maybe you kept some notes?

Thanks!

I didn’t myself, but talked to a colleague recently who set it up for our company. Apparently it was quite tricky to get the various containers set up just right, as they need to communicate with each other but also be user facing and have proper certs and so on. I don’t have any details, but usually this guy is very good at deploying stuff, so if he admits to struggling I know it must be seriously hard.

Do you think he would he share his deployment code? I was thinking of deploying excalidraw on my homeserver :p.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s possible, as his deployment code is very specific to our company setup (own acme, own sso, …). Sorry. 😕

No problem, I expected as much but wanted to try haha

Thanks! Now I'm intrigued. I'll try to set it up this weekend.

There's also an Obsidian plugin that gives you a local setup without the extra config for sharing
