🎉 ChartDB

ChartDB is a powerful, web-based database diagramming editor. Instantly visualize your database schema with a single "Smart Query." Customize diagrams, export SQL scripts, and access all features—no account required. Experience seamless database design here.

What it does:

• Instant Schema Import Run a single query to instantly retrieve your database schema as JSON. This makes it incredibly fast to visualize your database schema, whether for documentation, team discussions, or simply understanding your data better.

• AI-Powered Export for Easy Migration Our AI-driven export feature allows you to generate the DDL script in the dialect of your choice. Whether you're migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL or from SQLite to MariaDB, ChartDB simplifies the process by providing the necessary scripts tailored to your target database.

Getting Started

Use the cloud version or deploy locally:

How To Use

npm install
npm run dev

Build

npm install
npm run build

Or like this if you want to have AI capabilities:

npm install
VITE_OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPEN_AI_KEY> npm run build

Run the Docker Container

docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPEN_AI_KEY> -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/chartdb/chartdb:latest

Build and Run locally

docker build -t chartdb .
docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPEN_AI_KEY> -p 8080:80 chartdb

Using Custom Inference Server

# Build
docker build \
  --build-arg VITE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=<YOUR_ENDPOINT> \
  --build-arg VITE_LLM_MODEL_NAME=<YOUR_MODEL_NAME> \
  -t chartdb .

# Run
docker run \
  -e OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=<YOUR_ENDPOINT> \
  -e LLM_MODEL_NAME=<YOUR_MODEL_NAME> \
  -p 8080:80 chartdb

Privacy Note: ChartDB includes privacy-focused analytics via Fathom Analytics. You can disable this by adding -e DISABLE_ANALYTICS=true to the run command or --build-arg VITE_DISABLE_ANALYTICS=true when building.

Note: You must configure either Option 1 (OpenAI API key) OR Option 2 (Custom endpoint and model name) for AI capabilities to work. Do not mix the two options.

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080.

Example configuration for a local vLLM server:

VITE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8000/v1
VITE_LLM_MODEL_NAME=Qwen/Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct-AWQ
