Question 1

How do I self-host Azimutt on my own server?

Accepted Answer

You can self-host Azimutt using Docker, with detailed guides for deployment on Heroku or Kubernetes. Setup involves configuring environment variables and storage, as outlined in the README's installation section.

Question 2

Azimutt vs dbdiagram.io for database diagrams?

Accepted Answer

Azimutt offers integrated features like data querying and analysis, making it better for complex, real-world databases. In contrast, dbdiagram.io is simpler and more focused on basic diagramming, so choose based on depth of exploration needed.

Question 3

Can Azimutt connect to live databases or only SQL files?

Accepted Answer

Azimutt primarily loads from SQL files via URL parameters, as shown in the badge examples. The README doesn't specify direct live database connections, so it's more file-based for schema exploration.

Question 4

How to query data using foreign keys in Azimutt?

Accepted Answer

You can navigate data by following foreign key relationships visually within the diagram, allowing traversal between tables and displaying entities directly. This is part of the querying features described in the README.

Question 5

Does Azimutt support collaboration with team members?

Accepted Answer

Azimutt includes documentation features like notes and layouts for team contexts, but the README doesn't explicitly mention real-time collaboration. Self-hosting may enable team use, but it's not designed for simultaneous editing.

Question 6

What databases does Azimutt support beyond PostgreSQL?

Accepted Answer

Azimutt supports various databases including MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and others, as indicated by the badge examples. It uses SQL files for schema loading, so compatibility depends on the SQL dialect or structure.
