mayan-edms VS draw.io

Mayan EDMS / Mayan EDMS · GitLab

I always love open-source projects for their quality and the amazing community who build it through their contributions. Whenever I'm in need of any professional software for day-to-day productivity or hobby projects for personal use, I always search in google along with "open-source" keyword. I found so many such open-source projects which I end up using very frequently. apps.diagrams.net (formerly draw.io), Greenshot, Mayan EDMS, WinMerge, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code are to name a few.

I'm trying to run Mayan EDMS in a docker container and I'm using the official docker compose from here: https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/-/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml

As far as actual solutions to my original question...looks like Mayan actually does support transparent encryption for storage and transport starting with version 3.4 (and mentioned here) but it's virtually undocumented as far as I can tell.

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.

Answer:

> We do not supply the source to that file.

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.
