- 01

Pick a plan with at least 2 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk: Excalidraw is already selected in the order.
- 02
Excalidraw deploys

- 03
Start drawing
Open the HTTPS address shown in the console, or attach your domain, and start drawing: no account to create.
A simple, fast whiteboard, under your domain
Excalidraw is the editor behind excalidraw.com, published as open source by its authors. The official image serves the app from your VPS; the drawing itself happens in the browser.
Infinite canvas
A whiteboard with no edges, free zoom and panning, for diagrams as large as you need.
Hand-drawn style
Rectangles, diamonds, ellipses, arrows, lines, free draw, text and eraser, with a sketchy look and a dark mode.
Bound, labeled arrows
Arrows snap to shapes and follow them when you move them; give them a label.
Images and libraries
Insert images into your diagrams and reuse shape libraries, your own or the community's.
PNG, SVG and .excalidraw export
Export to PNG, SVG or the clipboard, and save your drawings in the open .excalidraw format, a JSON file.
Local-first, offline
Your drawing is saved automatically in your browser, and the app works offline once loaded.
Mermaid to Excalidraw
Paste a Mermaid diagram and convert it into Excalidraw elements you can edit by hand.
Available in many languages
Excalidraw is translated into many languages, including French, and detects the browser's language.
Real-time collaboration and share links: what you should know
The official Excalidraw image is the excalidraw.com app, built with the addresses of Excalidraw's public services. Live collaboration sessions and share links therefore go through those servers, not through your VPS. Content is end-to-end encrypted there: the key stays in the link you share. To keep collaboration entirely on your side, you would need to deploy Excalidraw's collaboration server and rebuild the image with your own address: that setup is not part of the One Click Apps application.
Managed from the console with One Click Apps
Automatic HTTPS
An HTTPS address as soon as it's deployed, or your own domain with its Let's Encrypt certificate.
Status and logs
Start, stop or restart Excalidraw and read its web server logs without opening a terminal.
Updates
The console detects new Excalidraw images, and you start the update when you decide.
Root access kept
The server stays yours: SSH and root access, plus the VPS firewall and snapshots from the console.
Excalidraw is free software released under the MIT license by its authors, who also run Excalidraw+, a separate paid hosted service. Excalidraw+ is not included: you get the open source editor, served from your VPS.

Frequently asked questions about Excalidraw
What to know before you order, and right after.
What is Excalidraw?
Excalidraw is an open source virtual whiteboard with a hand-drawn style, published by a third party, the Excalidraw team. The app deployed on your VPS is the one behind excalidraw.com: an infinite canvas with shapes, arrows, text, images, libraries and export to PNG, SVG or .excalidraw.
Is Excalidraw free and open source?
Yes. Excalidraw is released under the MIT license, free including for commercial use. Its authors also offer Excalidraw+, a paid hosted service with cloud workspaces: it is not included. The prices on this page are for the VPS.
Where are my drawings saved?
In your browser. The official image is a static web app: it stores no drawings on the server and declares no data volume. Each person finds their drawings in their own browser; to keep, archive or hand them over, export them as a .excalidraw, PNG or SVG file.
Does real-time collaboration go through my server?
No. The image is built with the addresses of Excalidraw's public services: live collaboration and share links go through those servers, with end-to-end encrypted content whose key stays in the link. For collaboration hosted entirely on your side, you would need to deploy Excalidraw's collaboration server (excalidraw-room) and rebuild the image with your address: this is not provided by One Click Apps.
Do I need to create user accounts?
No, Excalidraw has no accounts or passwords: anyone who knows the address can open the editor, and only sees their own drawings. If you want to restrict access, limit the allowed IP addresses with the VPS firewall.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Add it in the application's Domains tab. If the DNS zone is managed at OnetSolutions, the A record is created for you; otherwise, the console shows you the IP address to point to. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically.
What is the minimum configuration?
The One Click Apps minimums are enough: 2 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk, with 1 GB of memory reserved for the system and the platform. Excalidraw is served by a simple web server and drawing is computed in the browser: there is room left for other applications on the same VPS.
Do One Click Apps backups protect my drawings?
No, because there is nothing to back up on the server: Excalidraw declares no volume, and the daily One Click Apps backups cover application volumes. Your drawings live in the browsers: export them regularly. The VPS backup option (from €1.99 excl. VAT/month) and snapshots protect the server itself.
How do updates work?
Every night, the platform checks whether a new Excalidraw image has been published and the console lets you know. Nothing is updated without your action: you start the update from the console, which downloads the new image and recreates the container.
Who looks after Excalidraw once it's installed?
Our support covers the VPS: the server, its network, its storage and its availability. Excalidraw, its configuration and its updates remain your responsibility: the console gives you the tools to manage them, and you keep root access to the server.
