* update simplifier distance to reflect zoom The distance used in the iterative end-point fit algorithm to determine if points can be removed no longer ignores the zoom. As the zoom gets larger this distance will get smaller and fewer points will be removed, thus making for finer grain control over the drawing. As the zoom gets smaller the drawing will get more coarse as more points are removed. * remove the comment Co-authored-by: John Dupuis <wasp7@Johns-MacBook-Pro.local> Co-authored-by: Michal Srb <xixixao@seznam.cz>

Docker Compose
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 -d
Self hosting
We 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:latest
The 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.
