0.9 is out.
Quick context if this is your first time: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace, an infinite canvas where you drop blocks for your Git repos, notes, tasks, files, and now automation. Everything about a project in one place.
The last release post ended with “move from visibility to control.” This is the start of that.
Webhook block: drop one on the canvas, it becomes a live HTTP endpoint. CI pipeline finishes, monitoring alert fires, form submits, POST to the URL and Ideon reacts. Configure what happens: set a block’s visual state, change its color, create a Kanban task, prepend text to a note. Runs server-side, no open browser tab needed.
Cron block: same action set, triggered on a schedule instead of an event. Preset or custom cron expression.
LaTeX block: several people asked for it. Write $...$ or $$...$$, toggle preview, done. Turned out to look better on the canvas than I expected.
Proxy / Header Auth: probably the most relevant one for this crowd. Already running Ideon behind nginx mTLS, Traefik, or Authelia? You can now configure it to read user identity straight from the headers your proxy injects. No OAuth round-trip, no separate IdP. A few env vars, and all auth events still go to the audit log.
Still open source, still self-hosted only.
There is a docker compose file you can use, no further setup required
Yep! One command. It just pulls a single docker image, asks for a few env vars, then starts the app :D
As a feedback: I would prefer that you also link to the docker compose file in the readme. I don’t necessarily want to pipe a script directly into the shell… (it is also way less universal than the compose file)
Oh mb never thought of that, thanks, I will
