Sharing and storing in DB doesn't work. about excalidraw-collaboration HOT 9 CLOSED

I found a solution for the problem I had which had the error message shown by @freezah .

I had misconfigured excalidraw.env.production file. I've assumes that when you deliver the app through HTTPS you have to change

REACT_APP_STORAGE_BACKEND=http

to

REACT_APP_STORAGE_BACKEND=https, which is wrong! Here we still need the http enty.

http here is an identifier for the used storage backend and not a protocol. An error log message indicated in the developer console of my browser that a Firebase project id was missing and I've asked myself why Firebase was still used.

@alswl Thank you for the excalidraw-collaboration repo, it is a great help.

EDIT: I've found a possible solution and changed my request for help into how I've solved my problem.

@freezah I see. I think the sample(provide by another developer) was not works as expected properly.
But in my self-host domain(a private intranet deploy), it works.

I'm lack of cloud resources , so I cannot provide a online demo.

Please show me the error message.

"Couldn't save to the backend database. If problems persist, you should save your file locally to ensure you don't lose your work."

@freezah I'm so sad, the error message is not provided by Docker or NodeJS(entrypoint). The error is beyond this project, I'can't provide helps.

@alswl , ok, understood. Although my question is have you successfully deployed excalidraw + room + storage on a remote server publicly available over https ?

from excalidraw-collaboration.

@freezah I'm sure it works. You can check https://draw2.dmitrysamoylenko.in/#room=f8671f3fdef3ada5128c,Dyn8aqg8RII9rzUVIl9i7w .

You should check the request chains of your deployments.

And the excalidraw-room project is depend on crypto module, it required HTTPS protocol.

@alswl

I just checked your link and it does not work as expected.

I did draw something, then copy/pasted session URL to different browser (in incognito mode), it opened but with empty canvas.

Also, if I click Export -> Export to link it does not create / provide any link.
