# Deploy and Host Drawnix on Railway

[Drawnix](https://github.com/plait-board/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

- A private whiteboard for sketching diagrams and brainstorming
- Quick mind maps from Markdown and flowcharts from Mermaid
- A self-hosted drawing tool for a team or classroom

## Dependencies for Drawnix Hosting

- One service; no volume or database

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Drawnix on GitHub](https://github.com/plait-board/drawnix)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/pubuzhixing/drawnix)

## 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.
