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.

Inkscape works well for this.

Does 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

Unless I misunderstand your question, draw.io can be downloaded as a standalone Linux application and run locally.

Likewise, the Xfig package should he available in most Linux repos. It’s old, but good enough for a quick sketch.

edit: aha. My mistake. My eyes slid over ‘open source’ in the title*, and even still I hadn’t realized it was an Apache license.

They’re looking for something open-source. Draw.io’s readme says:

License

The source code authored by us in this repo is licensed under a modified Apache v2 license. This project is not an open source project as a result.

I haven’t been through the license to see what its restrictions are, but there must be a reason they give this warning.

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

  1. 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.

That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

I guess that’s how they make a lot of money, selling their own Confluence plugin.

You are aware that draw.io is itself open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio ?

https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blame/dev/LICENSE <-- that’s … a rather specific and recent change. Is there a story here ?

Weird because gliffy (or whatever it’s called) exists on confluence

Amazing. I get there’s some atlassian bullshittery behind that.

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

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.

D2lang is good

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

Maybe mermaid fits your use case?

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.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

What kind of diagram are you going to make?
