Selfhosted

Hey all!

About three weeks ago, I introduced ChartDB to this community and received a great response with tons of positive feedback and feature requests. Thank you for the amazing support!

recap of ChartDB: For those new to ChartDB, it simplifies database design and visualization, similar to tools like DBeaver, dbdiagram, and DrawSQL, but is completely open-source and self-hosted.
