Hi selfhosters π
After the feedback I received from self-hosters here and elsewhere, I focused this update on things that matter specifically when you run everything on your own infrastructure.
This update adds:
- π Generate public shareable links for your projects
- π Organize everything using folders
- πΌ Export a full project as a single image
But more importantly for this community:
- π Connect to GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo
- π Use it with self-hosted Git servers
- π Provide a personal access token to work with private repositories
Several people mentioned the need to work with private repos and internal Git instances without relying on external services. You can now point Ideon to your own server and use your own token. No third-party dependency required.
Installation is still designed to stay simple. One curl command:
- Downloads the docker-compose.yml
- Downloads the env.example
- Generates all required secrets securely
- Prompts you for SMTP, app URL, port, etc.
- Starts the containers
No repo cloning. No manual secret generation. No external SaaS. Everything runs in two containers: app and database.

As always, Iβm open to feedback. If you self-host it and hit friction anywhere, I want to know.
Wow, this looks like it has the potential to become something very very special. I already love the various forge integration possibilities and with a couple more upcoming block types (already dreaming of Nextcloud integration or perhaps even custom blocks) this could be an amazing planning hub.
Well done, Iβll definitely keep an eye on this!
Thanks so much! Really happy to hear that, it means a lot β€οΈ. Iβm obviously looking forward to adding more block types and integrations, and ideas like Nextcloud or custom blocks are definitely on the roadmap.
