drawDB
A self-hosted Design & Creative app you can run on your own server.
drawDB gives you a self-hosted design and creative tool: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 39.5K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 11, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Creative tools vary in how much hardware they use, so test with a real project file. Browser-based design tools have closed the gap with desktop software, and self-hosting means your work files never sit on someone else's server.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, drawDB is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
