draw.io VS MeshCentral

At first I thought this was drawio: https://www.drawio.com/ with which you can generate a schema diagram from SQL. Is this the other way around.

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).

While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

draw.io works nicely for flowcharts and other types of diagrams.

Another way that you can leverage the power of ChatGPT and mermaid is when you are using a software designing tool such as Draw.io and you want to skip the tedious task of creating a diagram from scratch and want to get a push at the begging and save your time for the creative part of the diagram.

There are also mockups with more features, so ignore weird UI at first.

With such phrasing, for now, I'll consider drawio proprietary with some parts in Apache 2 (even if it's actually the majority of the code).

It might be possible to have a fork with some optional features related to these non provided files removed, if by luck no critical feature is impacted.

Specifically I've been working on an incremental game and I've been using https://www.drawio.com/ to help me plan out what I want the progression of features/unlocks to be as the player progresses through the game, what pre-requirements/events are for each feature/unlock, etc.

Mesh Central has been really great for me. Moved to it from rust desk.

Use it to manage my entire family's computers and phones.

MeshCentral

Anyway you can use meshcentral for this purpose.

Edit2: a bug has been created on Github https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/5302

We have copied an migrated an IDENTICAL Mesh Central installation to another Linux server. The LDAP environment has the same groups, users and permissions. Yet when we login with the same user as before it ignores the existing user and creates a new one.I've created an issue on Github because it seems this is a bug but was wondering if anyone else on this group may have run into this and has an idea of what the problem might be...

Meshcentral if you are comfortable hosting the control plane.
