Whiteboard

This is how I run whiteboard on my machine.

When I need a dashboard I run: sdraw

It spins up a container with excalidraw Then I open up my laptop on url: http://localhost:5252


The Setup

We can add the command to our ~./zshrc it allowing starting the dashboard.

If your on docker replace podman for docker.

# excalidraw

alias sdraw="podman run --rm -dit --name excalidraw -p 5252:80 --platform=linux/amd64 excalidraw/excalidraw:latest"

Backup

Don't forget to backup the dashboard once in a while.
