How to Install Etherpad on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Etherpad is an open-source and web-based real-time collaborative editor designed for groups to work on rich-text documents collaboratively over the internet. Here is a step-by-step guide to install Etherpad on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Step 1: Install Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure that the prerequisites are installed on your system:

# dnf install curl
# dnf install tar 
# dnf install gzip 
# dnf install unzip
# dnf install wget 
# dnf install git   #optional

Step 2: Install Node.js

Etherpad is built on Node.js, so you need to install it on your Fedora CoreOS Latest. Run the command below to install Node.js:

# dnf module enable nodejs:14
# dnf install nodejs

Step 3: Install an Instance of Etherpad

To install Etherpad, you need to access the official website (https://etherpad.org/) and download the latest version

# cd /opt 
# wget https://etherpad.org/downloads/etherpad-latest.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded file

# tar -zxf etherpad-latest.tar.gz

Rename the extracted folder as per your preference:

# mv etherpad-1.X.X etherpad

Step 4: Install Database

Etherpad requires a database to store its data. So, you can either install the default database (SQLite) or install a different database-server. In this tutorial, we will install SQLite.

# dnf install sqlite

Step 5: Configure Etherpad

Navigate to the newly created folder "etherpad" by running the command:

# cd /opt/etherpad

Copy the default configuration file.

# cp settings.json.template settings.json

Edit the configuration file as shown below:

{
  "ip": "0.0.0.0",
  "port" : 9001,
  "dbType" : "sqlite",
  "dbSettings": {
                   "filename": "/opt/etherpad/var/etherpad.db"
                  }
}

Step 6: Start Etherpad

# ./bin/run.sh

This command will start the Etherpad instance, which can be accessed via 'http://localhost:9001' in your web browser.

In conclusion, Etherpad is an essential collaboration tool for group projects and a great alternative to Google Docs. By following this guide, you should have a running instance of Etherpad on your Fedora CoreOS Latest.
