A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Might I ask, why exactly do you feel the need to have a webapp for CAD rather than a hard client?

Freecad in a VM with a remote viewer like guacamole?

Ideally you could use moonlight but that is not web based

Someone posted this https://webvm.io/alpine.html in another community and it made me think of this post. I've never used webvm and I suspect there are many downsides but seemed relevant and the demo seems to be able to run a full desktop environment. You have to find a CAD software that supports Linux though which is a controversial topic at best.

What about solvespace web build: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/tree/emscripten#building-for-web

Would love to learn if it exists too. I use it often.

The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad

Unrelated but BTW FreeCAD is fully python scriptable. In fact, as I understand it, every operation is first translated to python code.

Yeah, and it outright isn't documented.

There is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project.

Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.

Check out Kasm too, you can easily install blender into it.
