Had a hiccup installing whiteboard today. Expected it to "just work",
but there are a few manual steps I needed to do. I wrote those out in
the README, since we don't have more structured nextcloud docs yet.

Looks good, thanks. Can you please tell me if the installation of the whiteboard app is possible with an abra app cmd instaed of going through the web interface? Same thing for the configuration of the whiteboard.

wrt installation of the app, I don't know. The recipe's .env.sample suggests that setting APPS is the recommended way to install apps, but that never worked for me so I've just clicked through the web UI

Wrt configuring the websocket server: yes! They can be set with occ. I just missed that earlier.

App installation can also be done with occ: abra app cmd run_occ <app-name> app:install whiteboard
