Installation

Requirements

Node.js >= 18.18.2.

GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like systems

Quick install on Debian/Ubuntu

Install the latest Node.js LTS per official install instructions, then:

git clone --branch master https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git &&
cd etherpad-lite &&
bin/run.sh

Manual install

You'll need Git and Node.js installed.

As any user (we recommend creating a separate user called etherpad):

1. Move to a folder where you want to install Etherpad.
2. Clone the Git repository: git clone --branch master https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git
3. Change into the new directory containing the cloned source code: cd etherpad-lite
4. Run bin/run.sh and open http://127.0.0.1:9001 in your browser.

To update to the latest released version, execute git pull origin. The next start with bin/run.sh will update the dependencies.

Windows

Prebuilt Windows package

This package runs on any Windows machine. You can perform a manual installation via git for development purposes, but as this uses symlinks which performs unreliably on Windows, please stick to the prebuilt package if possible.

1. Download the latest Windows package
2. Extract the folder

Run start.bat and open http://localhost:9001 in your browser.

Manually install on Windows

You'll need Node.js and (optionally, though recommended) git.

1. Grab the source, either:
   • download https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/zipball/master
   • or git clone --branch master https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git
2. With a "Run as administrator" command prompt execute bin\installOnWindows.bat

Now, run start.bat and open http://localhost:9001 in your browser.

Update to the latest version with git pull origin, then run bin\installOnWindows.bat, again.

If cloning to a subdirectory within another project, you may need to do the following:

1. Start the server manually (e.g. node src/node/server.ts)
2. Edit the db filename in settings.json to the relative directory with the file (e.g. application/lib/etherpad-lite/var/dirty.db)
3. Add auto-generated files to the main project .gitignore

Docker container

Find here information on running Etherpad in a container.

Plugins

Etherpad is very customizable through plugins.

Available Plugins

For a list of available plugins, see the plugins site.

Plugin Installation

You can install plugins from the admin web interface (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:9001/admin/plugins).

Alternatively, you can install plugins from the command line:

cd /path/to/etherpad-lite
pnpm run install-plugins ep_${plugin_name}

Also see the plugin wiki article.

Suggested Plugins

Run the following command in your Etherpad folder to get all of the features visible in the above demo gif:

pnpm run install-plugins \
  ep_align \
  ep_comments_page \
  ep_embedded_hyperlinks2 \
  ep_font_color \
  ep_headings2 \
  ep_markdown \
  ep_webrtc

For user authentication, you are encouraged to run an OpenID Connect identity provider (OP) and install the following plugins:

• ep_openid_connect to authenticate against your OP.
• ep_guest to create a "guest" account that has limited access (e.g., read-only access).
• ep_user_displayname to automatically populate each user's displayed name from your OP.
• ep_stable_authorid so that each user's chosen color, display name, comment ownership, etc. is strongly linked to their account.

Next Steps

Tweak the settings

You can modify the settings in settings.json. If you need to handle multiple settings files, you can pass the path to a settings file to bin/run.sh using the -s|--settings option: this allows you to run multiple Etherpad instances from the same installation. Similarly, --credentials can be used to give a settings override file, --apikey to give a different APIKEY.txt file and --sessionkey to give a non-default SESSIONKEY.txt. Each configuration parameter can also be set via an environment variable, using the syntax "${ENV_VAR}" or "${ENV_VAR:default_value}". For details, refer to settings.json.template. Once you have access to your /admin section, settings can be modified through the web browser.

If you are planning to use Etherpad in a production environment, you should use a dedicated database such as mysql, since the dirtyDB database driver is only for testing and/or development purposes.

Secure your installation

If you have enabled authentication in users section in settings.json, it is a good security practice to store hashes instead of plain text passwords in that file. This is especially advised if you are running a production installation.

Please install ep_hash_auth plugin and configure it. If you prefer, ep_hash_auth also gives you the option of storing the users in a custom directory in the file system, without having to edit settings.json and restart Etherpad each time.

Customize the style with skin variants

Open http://127.0.0.1:9001/p/test#skinvariantsbuilder in your browser and start playing!

Helpful resources

The wiki is your one-stop resource for Tutorials and How-to's.

Documentation can be found in doc/.

Development

Things you should know

You can debug Etherpad using bin/debugRun.sh.

You can run Etherpad quickly launching bin/fastRun.sh. It's convenient for developers and advanced users. Be aware that it will skip the dependencies update, so remember to run bin/installDeps.sh after installing a new dependency or upgrading version.

If you want to find out how Etherpad's Easysync works (the library that makes it really realtime), start with this PDF (complex, but worth reading).

Contributing

Read our Developer Guidelines

HTTP API

Etherpad is designed to be easily embeddable and provides a HTTP API that allows your web application to manage pads, users and groups. It is recommended to use the available client implementations in order to interact with this API.

OpenAPI (previously swagger) definitions for the API are exposed under /api/openapi.json.

jQuery plugin

There is a jQuery plugin that helps you to embed Pads into your website.

Plugin Framework

Etherpad offers a plugin framework, allowing you to easily add your own features. By default your Etherpad is extremely light-weight and it's up to you to customize your experience. Once you have Etherpad installed you should visit the plugin page and take control.

Translations / Localizations (i18n / l10n)

Support Headings, etc.

One limitation that really limits etherpad for anything but really short, basic, texts, is the lack of support for headings (and related features that can build on it, like tables of content). Any chance that the fresh start can make it easier to add support for that?

Blockquotes would also be nice to have.

Import doesn't work on windows

It seems that abiword does not support the --plugin parameter in windows. According to the wiki:

"As of version 2.6, AbiCommand only works on Unix-like systems (not windows), however it doesn't require a running X11 system so it can be used in an headless server environment. "

http://abiword.com/wiki/AbiCommand

Don't use `fs.readFile` in `sendFile()` method

https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/blob/master/node/server.js#L74

This is a bad idea because you're not sending any data to the request until the entire file is read. You could use the fs.createReadStream() and .pipe() APIs directly:

http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/fs.html#fs.createReadStream
http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/streams.html#stream.pipe

Or better yet, I would suggest using node-static instead. This is a battle-hardened static file server for node.js that we use everyday in production at Nodejitsu.

https://github.com/cloudhead/node-static

When abiword dies, the whole server dies

Someone managed to kill the test server on pad.pitapoison.de, it looks like he/she uploaded a PDF. The goal is to catch such problems

Abiword:

Private and Pro Pads

A very useful feature in Etherpad is the possibility to create a team with a unique url (in case of etherpad a subdomain) and several logins for members. I think this feature is a important, because collaborative writing is useful for teams who works always together, not only for one time. So there is the option to collect all pads in a single overview and more...
A second, im my opinion a very import, thing is to keep the pad secret. Of course the id is not human readable but not really random.

If I have more time to investigate in this project i will try to build such a feature, but maybe another one has this wish too, so we can share work and ideas for a good concept. Better than the Pro Pads in Etherpad :-P

So far

widget-ify for integration into e.g. express

No idea what I'm talking about yet, but instead of running etherpad as an app, it would be interesting to architect it as a widget (with both client/server side) parts that can be integrated into some node.js framework as an 'app' whatever that would mean.

I'm posting this as an issue, as a request, but also somewhat of a heads-up and an RFC if I start developing in that direction.

Similar to #11:

I've the following setup tested:

• Client <-> Server:9001

This is working quite well. For several reasons I've to use this setup:

• Client <-> proxy:443/etherpad <-> Server:9001

I can open the first page but there are several issues:

1. The "new pad" link on https://proxy/etherpad/ forwards to https://proxy/p/I8ZsAKR4Ug
2. When opening https://proxy/etherpad/p/I8ZsAKR4Ug I see parts of the GUI and in the browser console I see many 404 error codes.

lighttpd and ep-lite doesn't work

hangs on loading. No javascript error on the browser, server gets no message from client

Disconnects when closing chat in IE8

Insecure content

Version: latest trunk

Steps that will reproduce the problem?

1. Setup a proxy with https access (see wiki for a config template)
2. Open https://etherpad.example.org/p/example

What is the expected result?
To see a usable page.

What happens instead?

• You see the UI and a big "Loading...".
• Chrome pop-up: "Insecure script has been loaded" (see https://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=1342714)
• Debug information: "The page at https://etherpad.example.org/p/example ran insecure content from http://etherpad.example:80/socket.io/jsonp-polling//1308682691251/0"

Possible workaround:
Don't use SSL, if possible (not possible in my case).

Any additional information:

Not able to find the subvalue colorId in null

IE 7 Hangs on "Loading..."

tried the online demo and it hung.with the pad loading

IT 7 shows a JS error

"Cannot GET /ep/support"

The link "let us know" within the text "If this continues to happen, please let us know (opens in new window)" is broken.

iframe keeps "Loading..." forever

Etherpad Lite works perfectly for me, but when I try to use it with an iframe, it keeps "Loading..." forever.

Here is the basic iFrame code:

<iframe src='http://pad.pitapoison.de/p/iframeprob' width=500 height=400>

What Firebug says:

Permission denied to access property 'document'
<!-- CSS --> 

This can be found in line 10 of the page source.

<!-- CSS -->
<link href="../static/css/pad.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> 

I think it connects because I can use the chat and when I open the regular site (without iframe) it shows the iframe user is online.
Also because Firebug tells me that I'm (iframe) receiving data from someone else typing.

I think it gets stucked when trying to load the CSS or something like that, I don't know.

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo

Not able to find the subvalue colorId in null

Since I don't know how to reproduce it, feel free to close this issue again. The server stopped twice today with the following error:

Chrome 13 doesn't show the whole content

Version: Trunk

Steps that will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a new pad in Chrome 13

What is the expected result?
To see more than 8 lines.

What happens instead?
The content gets cropped after 8 lines.

Possible workaround:
Use Safari 5.0.5 or Firefox 5.0

Sqlite doens't compile with old libraries

Didn't work in Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Lucid. The easiest way to solve the problem is to use a library that brings its own sqlite sources. node-sqlite does that, but doesn't support to do more than one command in a transaction - what makes it unusable slow doing write operations. The Library we're using at the moment wants to include the sources in the future, see here

Short: to solve this issue we can wait until node-sqlite3 brings the sources, or we wait until node-sqlite support transactions :/

Import works but with issues

Import of a 1 page word document (.doc) is successful but throws errors.

Using this pad:
http://pad.pitapoison.de/p/gyFAV059pM

I import a 1 page word document with text only. The import is successful and the document text is loaded in the pad. The loading indicator does not automatically disappear and eventually turns into:

"Import failed: Request timed out."

Add monospace/normal font toggle button

... that was wished twice on reddit

Import/Upload accepts any file

Possible fix:
Check the file signatures (loop through the first 30 bytes and check whether the bytes match one of the signatures (pdf, odt,..) in an array.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures for the appropriate signatures

Example: http://pitapoison.de:9001/p/mX04kWAmT7

Support Opera in proxy mode

Opera 11.11 doesn't seem to send (but receive) updates when ep-lite is behind a proxy (see #11 and #14).

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/863/screenshot20110525at003.png

Unfortunately I cannot find any error message in any client/server log. After a while I get the GUI message "Disconnected. Server not responding. This may be due to ..." and after clicking on "Reconnect Now" it reconnects or I get the message "You have this Pad already opened in another Window/Tab".

Everything seems to work fine when connecting to the server with all browsers without a proxy.

Support proxy requests

Hi there,

I've the following setup tested:

• Client <-> Server:9001

This is working quite well. For several reasons I've to use this setup:

• Client <-> SSL-Proxyserver (Apache ProxyPass) <-> Server:9001

I can open the first page but there are several issues:

1. The link https://proxy/newpad forwards to http://proxy/p/I8ZsAKR4Ug
2. When opening https://proxy/p/I8ZsAKR4Ug I see the (unresponsive) GUI and in the browser console I see the following errors:
   1. XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://proxy/socket.io/xhr-polling/1306165174613. Origin https://proxy is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
   2. [blocked] The page at https://proxy/p/I8ZsAKR4Ug ran insecure content from http://proxy/socket.io/jsonp-polling//1306165179614/0.

Make custom css/js optional via settings

Linking to empty css/js is not best practice. It's better to "write" the links only when enabled in the settings.

Pad names containing a '?' cause a crash (MySQL only)

If a pad name contains a ? in the name, the wholes server crashes. SQLite isn't affected.
Also, if a name begins with a ?, the problem doesn't appear.

List Bullets breaks the text

Try this: Create a list and refresh the pad. Perhaps you need more than one time

Add an option to settings.json to specify an own css file

See title.

Alternative Design

I redesigned static/index.html: http://pastebin.com/CvViZGnr
Maybe you can add it :)

Timeslider is broken

the pad content overlaps the timeslider
