CryptPad is a privacy-focused online collaboration suite that allows users to work together in real-time while keeping their data secure. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and use CryptPad on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, you will need access to a terminal on Arch Linux with root or sudo privileges.
CryptPad requires Node.js to be installed on your system. You can install it using the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
This will install the latest version of Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your system.
Now that Node.js is installed, we can proceed with installing CryptPad. To install CryptPad, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g cryptpad
This command will install CryptPad globally on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch CryptPad by running the following command:
cryptpad
This will start the CryptPad server, and you will be able to access it by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
You can use CryptPad to collaborate with your friends and colleagues by sharing pads. To create a pad, click on the create pad button which will take you to a page where you can select the type of pad you want to create.
CryptPad supports various types of pads, including:
Once you have selected the type of pad you want to create, you can invite collaborators by copying the pad's URL and sharing it with them.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
