### Docker Compose

```
## 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.
```bash
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.
