Want to jot something down for later, or brainstorm a new idea with some mates? Etherpad is now up on our pod's network!

Have fun!

Pretty neat! Etherpad has come a long way to look really nice, whilst being as useful as ever. Are you running their master, from git, or somewhere else? I checked out the linked instance, and couldn't find how to set the dark theme, as well as other options, which develop branch has.

@fastidious Yeah, I didn't do my own build (for now); that's the latest Docker image. I think those themes are available with a skins environment variable, possibly; I've set loads, but not that one in particular.

Now I'm working on setting up a Calibre server for the club. 😁

@jlj I actually tried to stand up Etherpad once recently and there was something I didn't like about it so I tore it down. I don't quite remember though 😒 Anyway I'm glad it's working out for you though πŸ‘Œ

@prologic I am surprised you even tried it. Etherpad runs on NodeJS. Maybe that was the something you didn't like about it? I am yet to find a similar tool on Golang. There is a playground for you!

@fastidious No I don't think it was the use of Javascript as the backend technology choice. To be fair I even run some things here at the Mills DC in PHP would you believe it! πŸ˜… I _think_ it was something else, but I'll look into it again later when I have time.

Ahh I know what it was!

From these instructions:

1. Log in to the Server & Update the Server OS Packages. ...
2. Install the Required Packages. ...
3. Install MySQL and Create a MySQL Database. ...

**Hard pass** πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@prologic hmm, I don’t know about that, but much has changed. They have a Docker image, but if manual is preferred, then:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
git clone --branch master https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git &&
cd etherpad-lite &&
src/bin/run.sh

I guess the real issue for me is whether or not a MySQL or PostgreSQL database is strictly required or not? I admittedly haven't checked this lately. πŸ€”

@prologic No DirtyDB file or some such was a default, I think. I went Postgres.
