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
Ok I think we have a winner! Got draw.io up and running on my server, and so far it has everything I need, and the UI is perfect. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you have used Draw.io (free) or lucidcharts (paid) you can host your own version as they are both versions of jgraph

Thanks I’ll take a look!
Draw io gets my vote
The correct answer is : excalidraw
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.
I guess it doesn’t need to be self-hosted, but it would be nice. I’ll check these out! Thanks for the suggestions!
These are fully stand alone. Downloadable. So not strictly hosted I guess?
cryptpad could be selfhosted and has a visio part too. You can test it here:

Ok that’s pretty cool. Thank you!
I personally like using dot(1) (https://linux.die.net/man/1/dot) but some people are into PlantUML.
