CURRENTLY THIS FORK HAS UNFIXED BUILD ERRORS

I'm trying to fix them together with others in this repository. Feel free to collaborate. 😎


This is a (hopefully temporary) fork from the original excalidraw project implementing:

  • The recent version of Excalidraw (as of 2024-05-22)
  • All the changes from b310-digital's fork (which brings support for rooms without using firebase). This fork is inspired and partly taken from Kilian Decaderincourt.
  • The yarn-build-fix from squatica
  • The redis db healthcheck from squatica
  • My own improvements regarding the docker-compose files and the redis configuration

==THIS REPOSITORY SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS MID / LONG TERM SOLUTION== I would really appreciate the upstream maintainers to implement some kind of self-hostable solution into their repository. But as long as pull requests to forks are outstanding for months and one has to fix a lot of different small issues until an up to date version of Excalidraw is up and running this repository will hopefully do it's job. 😎

Run with docker compose

Adapt the password in .env.default and rename it to .env.

Development

Adapt the variables according to your needs in .env.development

Start the containers:

docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d

Check the logs: docker compose logs -t -f

Production use

Adapt the variables according to your needs in .env.production

Start the containers:

docker compose -f docker-compose-prod.yml up -d

Check the logs: docker compose logs -t -f

Important

The collaboration mode requires a secure context (https). Localhost works as well, but http over a local network will throw errors in the browser console.


Instructions taken from b310-digital's fork

==Dunno if those instructions are still up to date and working==

Setup with docker

Please copy the .env.development.default or .env.production.default file to .env (or with environment without default at the end) and change it according to your needs, see react-scripts.

Development

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec excalidraw yarn install
docker-compose exec excalidraw yarn start

Hint: Collab mode requires a secure context (https). Localhost works as well, but not http over local network.

Commands
