Selfhosted tool for editing data trees

Hi,

I am looking since a long time for a selfhosted tool that would allow the user to insert and visualize data in a hierarchycal structure (tree). Ideally custom schemas could be defined so that it can be also regarded as a rudimentary noSQL database. I’ve looked at the awesome-selfhosted page high and low for anything similar with no luck. Do you happen to know anything that could work? The best example for the functionality I am looking for is the open source desktop app treeline

Thanks for your inputs,

Sounds like mind mapping software. I use freeplane (formerly freemind) desktop app but would love to find a self-hosted collaborative web based alternative with a database backend.

aesir OP ,

Quite not the same, the definition of what I am looking for seems either “Personal Information Manager” or “Outliner”. Still a niche market it seems

So why not use treeline then?

aesir OP ,

I do use it, but it is a desktop app. I was looking for something that could be used in a browser, I am so in need for that that I actually deployed treeline on alpine as a Kasm workspace for remote operation. Setting up a virtual desktop just for this seems a real overkill, besides that, I was hoping that a hosted solution could allow an easier collaboration between multiple users.

Why don’t you just dockerize treeline? It’s all python and Java. Looks easy enough.

aesir OP ,

Sorry for the double post that appeared for a while, lemmy was slow/malfunctioning, I deleted the other post and unfortunately by doing so also the answer of @InverseParallax sorry.

aesir OP ,

Here the answer

I’ve got a hacked pyqt5 script that does this, I doubt it’s what you want. Adding mysql support and eventually want to be able to have something like limited math functions so you can add all the values in a tree for stuff like total cost.

If you find something better I’d be real interested, I really want web and preferably app support.

What you’re describing sounds a lot like LDAP, but it could be I’m just triggered by “schemas.” LDAP would be the backend; there’s a whole slew of LDAP browsers, but none of them really seem like they’re targeted at users.

aesir OP ,

I never looked into LDAP, I will do so now, thanks. Hopefully there could be something out there starting from the right keywords

tburkhol ,

Most of what you’ll find is user management and system administration, because LDAP is a common backend for user authentication &c at larger sites, but there’s no reason it can’t store arbitrary data. openldap.org slapd on the backend and maybe directory.apache.org/studio/ on the frontend. But since it’s built around user authentication, it has layers of security and access control that really complicate understanding the actual system.

aesir OP ,

I see, it gets complicated enough for me, I cannot imagine for some of the other users I would like to target… I will probably look into it as a last resort. Thanks
