Whiteboard on NC 30 (Hub 9) not saving

Thank you!

I asked my managed Nextcloud provider about this, and the answer was:

To use the Whiteboard app, you only need the Whiteboard server, which must be purchased separately. As the current version contains a bug, we do not currently offer this.
If you are interested, we may be able to offer it to you in 6 weeks (after an update). The costs are 19,- Euro per month

So I have learned that some apps come with a specific server and extra costs.

same… frowning:

Hey guys I am so surprized because when I read this GitHub - nextcloud/whiteboard: Create & collaborate on an infinite canvas! , it gives me the impression that I could do it by myself. The part scaling strategies 2. Redis especially. But I can’t find the file .env that it is advised to connect to.

If someone has any clue of where I can find that, I m ready to try

I guess your talking about the following part…

Configuration: To use the Redis strategy, set the following in your .env file:

STORAGE_STRATEGY=redis
REDIS_URL=redis://[username:password@]host[:port][/database_number]

These are just two additional environment variables/config options, just like the JWT_SECRET_KEY and the NEXTCLOUD_URL, you need to pass along when starting the whiteboard server backend in order for it to be able to connect to a Redis server.

If I had to guess, I’d say with .env file, they’re referring to a Docker compose setup where you can put the environment variables in separate files: Set environment variables | Docker Docs
