Get draw.io running in minutes
Install draw.io from the VPSnet Applications catalog, open when HTTPS is ready, and complete the application’s own account setup — without SSH as the default path.
Order a server and install
Order Cloud VPS or VDS, or open an existing service. Install draw.io from Applications — safe defaults apply when the recipe allows.
Set up your application account
Open the application and follow its own owner setup or sign-in flow. This recipe does not generate one-time panel credentials.
Open when HTTPS is ready
Most apps use managed HTTPS on a *.vpsnet.cloud host. Wait until the certificate is active, then Open URL from the panel — certificate pending is not an install failure.
Complete initial setup in the app
Finish the application’s own owner setup or sign-in flow, then complete one real job for draw.io. Optional packs still need their own first-run inside the app. Lifecycle actions stay in Applications.

How to install draw.io on VPSnet
Managed install of draw.io from the Applications panel with HTTPS included. Account setup follows this application’s own first-run flow.
- 01. Choose a plan for draw.ioOpen the draw.io product page and note minimum and recommended vCPU, RAM, and disk. Order a new Cloud VPS or VPS, or use a running server that still has free capacity.
- 02. Install from ApplicationsIn the service panel open Applications → draw.io → Install. Leave VPSnet address selected unless you need another mode under Advanced access. This recipe version exposes no Additional settings, Optional packs, or one-time panel credentials. Click Install — defaults are enough. If the panel shows an Application runtime setup notice, Install still proceeds — there is no extra checkbox.
- 03. Open the managed HTTPS URLWhen draw.io exposes a web UI, VPSnet assigns a *.vpsnet.cloud hostname. A short Certificate pending state is normal while DNS and SSL finish. When the status is active, use Open URL in Applications.
- 04. Finish your first task in draw.ioOpen draw.io and follow its owner setup or sign-in flow. Then complete one useful first task (create a project, publish content, or run the primary workflow). This confirms that the application is ready to use.
