Aldine is an open-source Overleaf alternative you run on your own server. Co-authors write LaTeX together in the browser. Every project is a real git repo with branches and sync to GitHub, GitLab or Gitea. Zotero built in. Two containers, AGPL, no paid plan.
Hi, I'm Toby. I built Aldine because my co-authors want a browser tab and I want git.
Aldine is a collaborative LaTeX editor that you host yourself. It runs as two containers with docker compose, on flat files, with no database needed. Every project is a normal git repository. So you get branches in the editor, history with diffs, and push and pull to GitHub, GitLab or Gitea. A co-author who prefers VS Code can clone the repo and commit.
You can try it without an account at https://demo.aldine.dev. It resets every night, so please don't put real work there. Create a project, or drop an Overleaf ZIP on the home screen.
What is still rough: it is v0.x. There is no keystroke-level track changes. You get comments and explicit suggestions instead. CJK documents need the full TeX Live image.
I'd like to know which of your documents breaks it.
