Deploy and Host Drawnix on Railway

Drawnix is an open-source whiteboard that combines mind maps, flowcharts and free drawing on an infinite canvas. It converts Mermaid syntax into flowcharts and Markdown into mind maps, and exports to PNG or .drawnix files.

About Hosting Drawnix

This template runs the official pubuzhixing/drawnix image, a small static web server on port 80. Drawnix is a client-side app: it has no accounts and no database, and boards are autosaved in your browser's local storage. Open the URL and start drawing; use the export options to keep copies of your boards.

Common Use Cases

Why Deploy Drawnix on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. The tool has no login, so anyone with the URL can open it; share the link only with the people you want to use it.
