You can use docker-compose to work on excalidraw locally if you don't want to setup a Node.js env.
docker-compose up --build -dWe publish a Docker image with the Excalidraw client at excalidraw/excalidraw. You can use it to self host your own client under your own domain, on Kubernetes, AWS ECS, etc.
docker build -t excalidraw/excalidraw .
docker run --rm -dit --name excalidraw -p 5000:80 excalidraw/excalidraw:latestThe Docker image is free of analytics and other tracking libraries.
At the moment, self-hosting your own instance doesn't support sharing or collaboration features.
We are working towards providing a full-fledged solution for self hosting your own Excalidraw.
Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
To translate Excalidraw into other languages, please visit our Crowdin page. To add a new language, open an issue so we can get things set up on our end first.
Translations will be available on the app if they exceed a certain threshold of completion (currently 85%).
And the main source of inspiration for starting the project is the awesome Zwibbler app.
