Excalidraw without firebase
This is a fork from the excalidraw project with changes inspired and partly taken from Kilian Decaderincourt to enable support for rooms without using firebase.
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.
