What is it?

ExcaliDash is a self-hosted dashboard for Excalidraw drawings. Instead of keeping diagrams in loose files, it organizes them into workspaces and collections and lets several people edit the same board in real time.

It covers the parts a team usually needs around a shared whiteboard: sharing, a history of changes, backups, and user accounts. Sign-in can use local accounts or OpenID Connect, so it can sit behind an existing identity provider.

The project is deployed with Docker Compose. A production compose file starts the service, which is then reachable on port 6767 of the host.
