Etherpad

Etherpad is a real-time collaborative document editor. Multiple users can write and edit documents simultaneously.

Dependencies

  • PostgreSQL - Database for storing pads and history

Configuration

Key settings in config.yaml:

  • domain - Where Etherpad will be accessible
  • storage - Persistent volume size (default: 2Gi)
  • title - Instance name shown in the browser (default: Etherpad)

Usage

No account is required to create or edit pads. Just visit the app URL and:

  • Click New Pad to create a document
  • Share the pad URL with collaborators — anyone with the link can edit in real time

Admin Panel

An admin panel is available at /admin:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: value of adminPassword in your secrets.yaml

Use the admin panel to manage plugins, view connected users, and configure the instance.

Notes

  • Pads are identified by URL — anyone with the link can view and edit by default
  • Password-protected pads can be created via the admin panel settings
  • The admin panel also provides access to the plugin manager for extending functionality
