Deploy Kroki in one click installation.
Unified diagram-as-code API that converts text descriptions into diagrams using 30+ supported libraries.
What you can build with Kroki
Kroki is a unified HTTP API for generating diagrams from textual descriptions. Instead of installing and maintaining separate tools for each diagram format, Kroki wraps over 30 diagram libraries — including PlantUML, GraphViz, Mermaid, D2, Structurizr, and Excalidraw — behind a single endpoint that returns SVG, PNG, or PDF output.
Self-hosting Kroki on your VPS removes any reliance on public rendering services, keeps sensitive architecture diagrams within your network, and lets you integrate diagram generation into documentation pipelines, wikis, and CI/CD workflows without rate limits or data leaving your infrastructure.
Key features of Kroki
30+ diagram libraries
Render PlantUML, Mermaid, GraphViz, D2, Structurizr, Excalidraw, BPMN, and many more from one API endpoint.

Get diagrams back as SVG, PNG, PDF, or Base64 — pick the format that fits your documentation toolchain.
Pipeline integration
Drop-in compatible with Asciidoctor, Confluence, GitLab, and any tool that supports the Kroki diagram block syntax.
No external calls
All rendering happens locally on your VPS — architecture and system diagrams never leave your infrastructure.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
