Excalidraw

This app allows you to edit Excalidraw drawings right in your Nextcloud. It currently does not support collaboration, but this is on the roadmap. This is a personal project of mine, so use at your own risk!

This projects code is heavily based on Mind Map Editor - thanks!

Dependencies

• PHP
• NPM
• make
• tar, which, curl

Installation

This app is not in the official app store at the moment due to its early stage of development. To install it manually, do the following:

git clone https://github.com/Turakar/nextcloud-excalidraw.git
cd nextcloud-excalidraw
make
make appstore

This will create build/artifacts/appstore/nextcloud-excalidraw.tar.gz. Extract the contents of this file to your apps/ folder and ensure, that www-data can read them. Then enable the app via the web interface and run

occ maintenance:repair

This updates the MIME-type associations and adds the file icon.

Development

I use docker-compose for development.

sudo docker-compose up

To install the app, run one of the following:

./to-docker-debug.sh
./to-docker-production.sh
