How to run

Use the following command run this project in development mode:

docker compose up

Then visit http://localhost:8000/ or http://localhost:8000/new to create a collaborative whiteboard. If you have already created a whiteboard, you can access it at http://localhost:8000/boards/:id, where :id is the id of the whiteboard.

Frontend automatically restarts upon changes to source files, but it does not install any new npm packages. To install newly-added packages, you need to rebuid the container. You can rebuild the container images with:

docker compose up --build
