Hello self-hosters! Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a self-hosted Microsoft Visio alternative, or something at least very similar. I’m basically looking to create infrastructure diagrams for my self hosted server and apps. I already have WikiJS as a wik/documentation solution, but don’t mind migrating to something else if there are better solutions and/or integrations for diagrams
If you have used Draw.io (free) or lucidcharts (paid) you can host your own version as they are both versions of jgraph
You don’t even need Docker for draw.io: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases
No it does not.
Self-hosted implies self-hosted. AFAIK, the end goal is being as autonomous as possible technologically-speaking. Why exclude desktop applications ?
I like LibreOffice Draw for this.
Does it need to be “hosted”?
I like both these:
yEd (https://www.yworks.com/products/yed)
Dia Diagrams (http://dia-installer.de)
I think yEd had a free version but closed source.
AFAIK, unfortunately Dia hasn’t been maintained and hasn’t got a new release for a really long time. It’s still using GTK2.
I guess it doesn’t need to be self-hosted, but it would be nice. I’ll check these out! Thanks for the suggestions!
You should check out d2. It’s a code to diagram tool. You put some very simple coke and it draws your diagram. Quite quick and useful. Been using it for a while now.
cryptpad could be selfhosted and has a visio part too. You can test it here:
