Nextcloud WhiteBoard Server

When Playing Around with Nextcloud V31, i Discovered that the WhiteBoard App Whiteboard - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud
Can Only Work With a Paired Server Backend, Based on Excalidraw Excalidraw | Hand-drawn look & feel • Collaborative • Secure

Previously, this was Achieved by just Embedding a sort of an Iframe that was viewable within Next cloud, But htis new implementation achieves a More Deeper Integration.

It is My Request, as PArt of @education_team Addition that this Whiteboard Backend Be implemented as Part of Official Apps. its a simple Docker Implementation, but it makes the WhiteBoard useable in local Environments, within which Nextcloud is Hosted on the same Server.

Insructions for Hosting it within Nethserver nextcloud/whiteboard: Create & collaborate on an infinite canvas!

version: '3.7'
services:
  nextcloud-whiteboard-server:
    image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/whiteboard:release
    ports:
      - 3002:3002
    environment:
      - NEXTCLOUD_URL=https://nextcloud.local
      - JWT_SECRET_KEY=some-random-key
      

I could easily Build it within less than 10 Minutes, However i believe that this should be part of official Apps.

It seems that there is another opportunity to validate an Excalidraw app.
