UXBOX

Introduction

The open-source solution for design and prototyping. UXBOX is currently at an early development stage but we are working hard to bring you the beta version as soon as possible. Follow the project progress in Twitter or Github and stay tuned!

See SVG specification

SVG based

UXBOX works with SVG, a standard format, for all your designs and prototypes . This means that all your stuff in UXBOX is portable and editable in many other vector tools and easy to use on the web.

Docker

Persistent data

The UXBOX installation and all data are stored in the database (file uploads, etc). The docker daemon will store that data within the docker directory /var/lib/docker/volumes/.... That means your data is saved even if the container crashes, is stopped or deleted.

To make your data persistent to upgrading and get access for backups is using named docker volume or mount a host folder. To achieve this you need one volume for your database container.

Database:

• /var/lib/mysql MySQL / MariaDB Data
• /var/lib/postgresql/data PostgreSQL Data

$ docker run -d \
    -v db:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
    postgresql

Auto configuration via environment variables

The following environment variables are also honored for configuring your UXBOX instance:
