#### Docker Compose

You can use docker-compose to work on excalidraw locally if you don't want to setup a Node.js env.

```sh
docker-compose up --build -d
```

## Self hosting

We publish a Docker image with the Excalidraw client at [excalidraw/excalidraw](https://hub.docker.com/r/excalidraw/excalidraw). You can use it to self host your own client under your own domain, on Kubernetes, AWS ECS, etc.

```sh
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.
