Etherpad aufsetzen

Diese Anleitung ist eine erste Hilfestellung und vermutlich noch nicht vollständig.

Voraussetzungen

apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm curl

Installationsort: /var/www/etherpad

Systembenutzer einrichten

adduser --system --group --no-create-home --home /var/www/etherpad etherpad

Programm herunterladen und installieren

cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/archive/1.6.1.zip
unzip 1.6.1.zip
rm 1.6.1.zip
ln -s etherpad-lite-1.6.1 etherpad
chown -R etherpad etherpad-lite-1.6.1

Datenbank vorbereiten

die Datenbank soll „etherpad“ heißen
der Datenbankbenutzer soll ebenfalls „etherpad“ heißen
gutes kennwort für den Benutzer ausdenken. Das dieses lediglich in der Konfiguration eingetragen wird, spricht nichts gegen ein langes, komplexes Kennwort

mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE etherpad;
> CREATE USER 'etherpad'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '********';
> GRANT CREATE,ALTER,SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON etherpad.* TO 'etherpad'@'localhost';
> exit

Kennwort ändern im Fehlerfall

SET PASSWORD FOR 'etherpad'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('new-password-here');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Konfiguration

cd etherpad
cp settings.json.template settings.json

settings.json

"dbType" : "mysql",
"dbSettings" : {   
    "user"    : "etherpad",
    "host"    : "localhost",
    "password": "********",
    "database": "etherpad",
    "charset" : "utf8mb4"
},
 
"loglevel": "WARN",
 
"users": {
  "admin": {
    "password": "****",
    "is_admin": true
  },
  "user": {
    "password": "****",
    "is_admin": false
  }
},

Optional: Proxy konfigurieren, falls Etherpad hinter einem Proxy eingerichtet wird

npm config set proxy http://"user:pass"@proxy.example.com:3128
npm config set https-proxy http://"user:pass"@proxy.example.com:3128

Starten

cd /var/www/etherpad
su etherpad -c bin/run.sh
