Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn’t entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that’s good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio

There’s also a draw.io (diagrams.net) plugin for intellij and probably eclipse.

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.
- BennyInc@feddit.orgEnglish2 years
I don’t think it’s possible, as his deployment code is very specific to our company setup (own acme, own sso, …). Sorry. 😕

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

I’ve used Dia for years, great simple tool for diagramming & if I need something more I’ll switch to graphviz dot files

2 yearsDoes inkscape have diagram connecting? One of the best draw.io features is the wide array of premade shapes, styles, and auto connecting for flow visualization
- Deebster@programming.devEnglish2 years
There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

See also Inkscape.
Doesn’t quite fit OPs want of self hosted, but still very good.
There is also Asymptote and tikz for more technical stuff.

You are aware that draw.io is itself open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio ?
- mystik@lemmy.worldEnglish2 years
https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blame/dev/LICENSE <-- that’s … a rather specific and recent change. Is there a story here ?

They added:
- None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

Looks like their paid confluence extension was called a scam in a review and they really did not like that 😂 https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/discussions/4623
- AustralianSimon@lemmy.worldEnglish2 years
Weird because gliffy (or whatever it’s called) exists on confluence

I used to use one years ago called yEd graph editor. Supremely amazing. It is free to use, but I don’t think it’s open source.

By no means the best option, but the tikz latex package works and pandoc can handle the conversion to your preferred format. I would limit this to very simple diagrams.
