Run Excalidraw on your own server in two minutes. Then see what the stock image still sends to excalidraw.com, and how to host real collaboration yourself.

Outline has no password login, so self-hosting it means pairing it with an OIDC provider. Here is a working Docker stack with Postgres, Redis, and Dex.

Turn a devcontainer into a team standard: Compose with Postgres, pinned Features, lifecycle hooks, one prebuilt image for laptops and CI, and the UID gotcha.
