ohh okay good to know, thanks for the advice !
THANKS ! and yes from what I’ve read, I am strongly considering it
yeah obviously that’s ok, glad you like it, and yes, didn’t really focus on a mobile mode yet, but it’s coming soon if demand were to grow
bro, there’s one container for the app, and one container for postgres, the all doesn’t surpass 500 Mo of RAM… where do you except to host the database ? Sorry If I sound a bit rude but you can always edit the .yaml manually to only launch the app, the app will use SQLite then, or configure an external postgres database via env :)
Ah man, that actually means a lot. Timing is everything I guess 😅
of course, there is better, i made an installer that does everything for you, downloads the yaml, the env.example creates secrets, prompts for hostname, port, etc. and finally starts the containers, of course you still have the choice to say no at every step, or edit the .env manually, everything is in the repo (I tried to post it here but seems to be blocked by lemmy’s firewall :-/ )
Okay, I’m not taking responsibility for any divorces caused by Ideon 😹
Really glad you liked the demo though, that means a lot. I honestly didn’t expect people to seriously consider moving their whole setup.
For Obsidian migration, yes, I can absolutely make it happen. But I want to be transparent, it’ll take a bit of time to build something clean and reliable :)
Thanks, there’s a demo if you want to try, just in case
You’re awesome !
#GoodFirstIssue 😹
how ? I just tried right now and it works, do you get an error or sum ?
Thank you, I am not aware of the risk with GitHub, can you tell me more?
YAY ! The goat 😆
Yes, of course, but I just think that when you make something and especially invite people to use it, you have to at least know what you’re doing, cuz I see a lot of people who promote open source, who want to contribute and so on, saying it’s free stuff, that’s okay, But throw something with AI, you don’t even know WTH you’re doing and you ask people to install your thing ? That’s where I really lose it tbh.
Thanks 🙌, appreciate it !
This is honestly one of the kindest messages I’ve received. THANKS ❤.
I’m just tired of seeing every project full of soulless AI slop for fame.
I try to build things with intention, even if it’s not the “trend”, I prefer to stay aligned with what suits me :)
Hey selfhosters 👋
A few weeks ago I shared Ideon here and got great feedback that shaped a lot of what I’ve been working on since.
Since my last post here, Ideon crossed 200 stars on GitHub and I wanted to say thank you ❤. It means a lot to see people interested in what started as a side project. It motivated me to work on it literally every day since then.
For those who missed it: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace where you lay out everything about a project on an infinite canvas: notes, Git repos, code snippets, checklists, sketches, links and connect them together. Two containers, no external dependencies.
Since then, a lot has changed and I wanted to share an update.
Self-hosting got smoother. Docker permission issues with bind mounts are gone, build times are faster, and there’s a new GIT_ALLOWED_HOSTS env variable so you can whitelist your internal Git servers (Gitea, Forgejo, GitLab behind a VPN, etc.) without the SSRF filter blocking them.
Collaboration got real structure. There are now 4 project roles (Creator, Owner, Editor, Viewer), a Request Access workflow for private projects, and the canvas supports real-time multiplayer with conflict-free editing.
The canvas got a lot more usable. Keyboard navigation (arrow keys + vim keys), a command palette, freehand sketch blocks, drag-and-drop checklists with progress bars, markdown tables and task lists, emoji reactions on blocks, edge labels, and a bunch of stability fixes for large projects.
Where this is going next:
Right now Ideon lets you see your project. Git stats, issues, PRs show up on the canvas, but you can only look at them. For the v1 I want to move from visibility to control. Merge a PR from the canvas. Trigger a deployment. Restart a service. Turn the workspace into an actual cockpit where you operate your project, not just view it.
That’s the direction. Curious what this community thinks about it.
If you tried it and hit something rough, or if you’ve been waiting to try it, now’s a good time. Feedback always welcome.
Yo, 0.3.3 is out.
You can now add elements on tablet by long-pressing on an empty space, it opens the context menu. Demo’s already updated if you want to test it there.
There is already a non-piped docker-compose setup. The installer just downloads the compose file and env.example, and you can also get them manually from GitHub.
You don’t need to set APP_PORT. If it’s unset, the app falls back to the PORT var provided by Portainer. Just make sure APP_URL exactly matches the root path you’re using behind Nginx.
I know from a friend his deployment running fine on Portainer, so it should work with a standard setup.
