Hi,

Same problem here, with Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Brave on Fedora.

Any usable log output from excalidraw service?

there is a load of ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached messages:

..

For the record: bumping the number of watchers removed the error messages but the problem is still there.

Upstream GH issue already exists for this: The app doesn't work after a fresh install · Issue #3 · YunoHost-Apps/excalidraw_ynh · GitHub

Thanks for pointing to the GH issue; as mentioned there, I’m having the same issue, and noticed that the static folder (which should contain the css and js subfolders with all their relative goodies) is not created in the public folder containing the website interface (as part of the /var/www/excalidraw main folder).
Maybe it’s a relevant detail.
