added structurizr to diagramming section

Thank you for taking the time to work on a PR for Awesome-Sysadmin!

To ensure your PR is dealt with swiftly please check the following:

  • Your additions are Free software
  • Software your are submitting is not your own, unless you have a healthy ecosystem with a few contributors (which aren't your sock puppet accounts).
  • Submit one item per pull request. This eases reviewing and speeds up inclusion.
  • Format your submission as follows, where Demo and Clients are optional.
    Do not add a duplicate Source code link if it is the same as the main link.
    Keep the short description under 80 characters and use sentence case
    for it, even if the project's webpage or readme uses another capitalization.
    Demo links should only be used for interactive demos, i.e. not video demonstrations.
    - [Name](http://homepage/) - Short description, under 250 characters, sentence case. ([Demo](http://url.to/demo), [Source Code](http://url.of/source/code), [Clients](https://url.to/list/of/related/clients-or-apps)) `License` `Language`
  • Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
  • Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
  • The Language tag is the main server-side requirement for the software. Don't include frameworks or specific dialects.
  • You have searched the repository for any relevant issues or PRs, including closed ones.
  • Any category you are creating has the minimum requirement of 3 items.
  • Any software project you are adding to the list is actively maintained.
  • The pull request title is informative, unlike "Update README.md".
    Suggested titles: "Add aaa to bbb" for adding software aaa to section bbb,
    "Remove aaa from bbb" for removing, "Fix license for aaa", etc.

Please take some time to answer the following questions as best you can:

  • Why is it awesome?

Structurizr makes the C4 model more accessible and is easy and straightforward to use through a well-designed web interface. This simplifies the work of software, IT, and security architects and improves the usability of architectural documentation.

  • Have you used it? For how long?

I have used Structurizer for two weeks, during which time I've generated and shared the architectural diagrams for 4 solutions and 11 patterns. This cut the time to complete this work by half.

  • Is this in a personal or professional setup?

This is in a personal setup being used for professional use. Structurizr is running in a docker container in my home lab and is accessible from the Internet via a Cloudflare tunnel.

  • How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

I have created 4 users in my setup using local users, I have not used the LDAP integration option.

  • Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Biggest Pro: Strucurizr adds several capabilities over other visual diagramming and diagramming-as-code tools and unifies them under one suite while maintaining a user-friendly experience.
Biggest Con: There is a learning curve to the C4 model and Structurizr expects the user to be familiar with the C4 model.

  • Any other comments about your use case, things you've found excellent, limitations you've encountered... ?

Structurizr is a web interface accessed via browser, it does not provide significant security capabilities and should be accessible only through a web application firewall.
