ABOUT
Etherpad is a highly customizable real-time collaborative document editor. It lets multiple people edit the same document simultaneously in the browser, with live changes, per-user colors, chat, and a rich plugin ecosystem.
infoThe default install uses an embedded sqlite database at /var/lib/etherpad/etherpad.db — ACID, zero-config, suitable for single-instance homelab use. To use postgres or mysql instead, edit /opt/etherpad-lite/settings.json and switch 'dbType' + 'dbSettings' (Etherpad's ueberdb abstraction supports both).
infoView logs with: journalctl -u etherpad -f
infoEtherpad listens on port 9001. Restart the service after editing settings.json: systemctl restart etherpad
