We are going to configure a jail to install excalidraw locally and solve the FreeBSD architecture problem.
We create the jail first with Bastille and add in the jails.conf the typical lines
allow.mlock;
allow.raw_sockets;Installing Excalidraw
According to their website the following steps should work but we have errors, in my case on the architecture, when trying to boot with yarn.
yarn start failure
This is just one of the present errors

When using yarn, we must edit our package.json and add the following:
"resolutions": {
"@types/react": "18.2.0",
"strip-ansi": "6.0.1",
"rollup": "npm:@rollup/wasm-node" (1)
}| 1 | This line must be added. |
| "rollup": "npm:@rollup/wasm-node" |
Here rollup is being redirected to a specific package in npm called @rollupwasm-node. This means that, instead of installing the standard version of rollup, the version packaged as @rollupwasm-node (probably optimized for environments using WebAssembly or Node.js) will be used.
| It is necessary to delete the node_modules directory and the yarn.lock after adding the previous line of the wasm. |

Problems with xdg-open
Apparently the problem can persist because of the xdg-open that tries to open the excalidraw with the browser, but we don’t have it installed, we could solve it by installing it or ignoring its use by means of a parameter to yarn.

yarn run v1.22.19

How to solve the fuck xdg-open
yarn start --host --no-open (1)| 1 | Mode without browser and do not try to open the url, allowing the excalidraw to start. Or, if we do not use the --no-open parameter we will have to install it. |
pkg install xdg-utils-1.1.3_4Then try yarn start --host again and excalidraw should start up.
Adding excalidraw for startup
In the rc.d we create our file with excalidraw execution permissions to be able to start it with tranquility lmao….
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: excalidraw
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name="excalidraw"
rcvar="excalidraw_enable"
start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd=":"
excalidraw_start() {
echo "Iniciando Excalidraw..."
cd /root/excalidraw || exit 1
(1)
su -m root -c "env PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin /usr/local/bin/yarn start --host --no-open > /var/log/excalidraw.log 2>&1 &" (2)
}
load_rc_config $name
: ${excalidraw_enable:=no}
run_rc_command "$1"| 1 | This is so, because the yarn will require us to node. |
| 2 | The /var/log/excalidraw.log file will tell us something in case of error. |
