HedgeDoc is an open-source collaborative markdown editor that allows multiple users to collaborate and work on the same document in real-time. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install HedgeDoc on MXLinux Latest:
First, we need to install some dependencies to run HedgeDoc on MXLinux:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl gnupg2 git
HedgeDoc requires Node.js version 14 or higher. You can add the Node.js repository to your system using the following commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
After adding the Node.js repository, install Node.js using the following command:
sudo apt install nodejs
Now, clone the HedgeDoc repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the hedgedoc directory and install the dependencies using the following commands:
cd hedgedoc
npm ci
Now, create a configuration file for HedgeDoc:
cp config.example.json config.json
Next, you'll need to modify the config.json file to include your own settings. Here are some of the key configurations to edit:
"auth": {
"admin": {
"username": "admin",
"password": "CHANGE_ME"
}
},
"server": {
"baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000",
"port": 3000
}
Here you want to change your username and password to something unique to your HedgeDoc site, then change the baseUrl to your site's url or IP address followed by :3000.
Finally, you can start HedgeDoc using the following command:
npm start
This will start HedgeDoc at http://localhost:3000. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see HedgeDoc in action.
That's it! You now have HedgeDoc up and running on your MXLinux Latest machine. This collaborative markdown editor can be used to create and edit documents in real-time.
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!
