## About
Etherpad is a real-time collaborative editor [scalable to thousands of
simultaneous real time users](http://scale.etherpad.org/). It provides [full
data
export](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Understanding-Etherpad's-Full-Data-Export-capabilities)
capabilities, and runs on _your_ server, under _your_ control.

## Plugins
Etherpad is very customizable through plugins.
![Basic install](doc/public/etherpad_basic.png "Basic Installation")
![Full Features](doc/public/etherpad_full_features.png "You can add a lot of plugins !")
### Available Plugins
For a list of available plugins, see the [plugins
site](https://static.etherpad.org).
### 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:
```sh
cd /path/to/etherpad-lite
pnpm run plugins i ep_${plugin_name}
```
Also see [the plugin wiki
article](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Available-Plugins).
### Suggested Plugins
Run the following command in your Etherpad folder to get all of the features
visible in the above demo gif:
```sh
pnpm run plugins i \
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](https://openid.net/connect/) identity provider (OP) and install the
following plugins:
* [ep_openid_connect](https://github.com/ether/ep_openid_connect#readme) to
authenticate against your OP.
* [ep_guest](https://github.com/ether/ep_guest#readme) to create a
"guest" account that has limited access (e.g., read-only access).
* [ep_user_displayname](https://github.com/ether/ep_user_displayname#readme)
to automatically populate each user's displayed name from your OP.
* [ep_stable_authorid](https://github.com/ether/ep_stable_authorid#readme) so
that each user's chosen color, display name, comment ownership, etc. is
strongly linked to their account.
### Upgrade Etherpad
Run the following command in your Etherpad folder to upgrade
1. Stop any running Etherpad (manual, systemd ...)
2. Get present version
```sh
git -P tag --contains
```
3. List versions available
```sh
git -P tag --list "v*" --merged
```
4. Select the version
```sh
git checkout v2.2.5
git switch -c v2.2.5
```
5. Upgrade Etherpad
```sh
./bin/run.sh
```
6. Stop with [CTRL-C]
7. Restart your Etherpad service
## 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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_hash_auth)
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](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/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](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/raw/master/doc/easysync/easysync-full-description.pdf)
(complex, but worth reading).
### Contributing
Read our [**Developer
Guidelines**](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
### HTTP API
Etherpad is designed to be easily embeddable and provides a [HTTP
API](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/HTTP-API) that allows your web
application to manage pads, users and groups. It is recommended to use the
[available client
implementations](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/HTTP-API-client-libraries)
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](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite-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](https://static.etherpad.org/) and take control.
### Translations / Localizations (i18n / l10n)
Etherpad comes with translations into all languages thanks to the team at
[TranslateWiki](https://translatewiki.net/).
If you require translations in [plugins](https://static.etherpad.org/) please
send pull request to each plugin individually.
