Enable multiplayer on the self-hosted instance
-
It looks like the fix got merged into tldraw:main. We need a package update if I'm not mistaken.
-
@humptydumpty yup. I have pushed a new package now.
-
@luckow is this a packaging or an upstream issue?
-
The multiplayer mode still needs the liveblocks.io token to be obtained and set in the app.
@nebulon so should I report this upstream or is it a packaging thing?
-
There is some more context for this at https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/1026
@nebulon that's now locked and it's been moved to a discussion here:

I'd suggest joining the discussion at the link above, but it doesn't sound very hopeful.

@jdaviescoates it took over two months just to get a merge for a single line of code change. I really wanted to try multiplayer as it might have solved a huge collab obstacle for me at work but you’re right, it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere so I’m uninstalling the app and moving on. It’s a shame really, the potential it had…

unless of course you don't mind using Live Blocks, then I guess it should work. It's free for up to 100 monthly active users and up to 10 simultaneous users.

@jdaviescoates according to the discussion post, it's saying that the service is a privacy/security risk and I can't take that risk because of work contracts, NDA's, etc.. Self-hosting a collab app is/was my main interest.
Out of curiosity though, are you saying that we could get the multiplayer to work on our self-hosted app by signing up for a liveblocks account? If so, any idea if our actual data can be viewed by liveblocks or is it just IP's and the usual analytics data?

I think so, but not tried it yet.

No idea, sorry

@humptydumpty the discuss thread says selfhosting is not their priority, so i wouldn't depend on this app for anything critical.
@girish Yep, moving on.
