* The MongoDB/Mongoose data storage is removed in favor of Sequelize. This abstracts over SQLite or RDBMs like PostgreSQL and MSSQL. The default is SQLite, which significantly simplifies deployments in end-user environments. * As Spacedeck now has no more mandatory server dependencies, we can wrap it in Electron and ship it as a desktop application. * Removes docker-compose.yml * First version of import UI |

Spacedeck Open
This is the free and open source version of Spacedeck, a web based, real time, collaborative whiteboard application with rich media support. Spacedeck was developed in 6 major releases during Autumn 2011 until the end of 2016 and was originally a commercial SaaS. The developers were Lukas F. Hartmann (mntmn) and Martin Güther (magegu). All icons and large parts of the CSS were designed by Thomas Helbig (dergraph).
As we plan to retire the subscription based service at spacedeck.com in May 2018, we decided to open-source Spacedeck to allow educational and other organizations who currently rely on Spacedeck to migrate to a self-hosted or local version.
Data migration features will be added soon.
We appreciate filed issues, pull requests and general discussion.

Requirements, Installation
Spacedeck uses the following major building blocks:
- Node.js 9.x: Web Server / API
- Vue.js: Frontend UI Framework (included)
- SQLite (included)
It also has some optional binary dependencies for advanced media conversion:
- ffmpeg and ffprobe (for video/audio conversion)
- audiowaveform (for audio waveform rendering) (https://github.com/bbcrd/audiowaveform)
- ghostscript (gs, for PDF import)
By default, media files are uploaded to the storage folder.
To use Spacedeck, you only need Node.JS 9.x.
Then, to install all node dependencies, run
npm install
To rebuild the frontend CSS styles (you need to do this at least once):
gulp styles
