Dockerized Version

see https://github.com/BITPlan/docker-openjscad

The dockerized version allows to mount a "workspace" directory that you can use.

docker run --publish=8080:8080 --name openjscad  --volume $HOME/openjscad/workspace:/openjscad/packages/web/examples/workspace bitplan/openjscad:latest

You should then be able to run e.g.

• http://localhost:8080/index.html#examples/globe.jscad
• http://localhost:8080/index.html#examples/workspace/RCHolder

and the RCHolder folder might be from your own workspace. To fill the RCHolder folder with content you can use the files from:

• https://github.com/BITPlan/docker-openjscad/tree/master/workspace

Convert from BlocksCAD?

You can save your BlocksCAD designs as Scad files which can (mostly) be directly used with OpenJSCAD. The conversion from the OpenSCAD syntax to OpenJSCAD is explained in the User's Guide.
