CryptPad is a free, open-source and cloud-based collaborative platform that allows users to create encrypted documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and even whiteboard discussions. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CryptPad on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you start with this tutorial, you need:
The first step is to update the system and package lists to the latest version. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
CryptPad is built using Node.js, so we need to install Node.js and NPM on our system. We will use the version of Node.js that is provided by the Ubuntu package repositories. To install Node.js, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm
Once the installation is finished, you can verify the installation by checking the version of Node.js:
node -v
The next step is to install the CryptPad using NPM. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo npm install -g node-gyp
sudo npm install -g cryptpad
Once the installation is complete, you can start the CryptPad service by running the following command:
sudo cryptpad
The service should start and should show the following output:
Listening on 127.0.0.1:3000
Now that CryptPad is installed, you need to configure it to work with your domain. Open the configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/cryptpad/config.js
In this file, you can change the settings so that the CryptPad service will be accessible via your domain. You can also configure other settings such as the maximum upload file size and other settings. Once you have made your changes, save the file and exit the editor.
To access CryptPad, open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:3000.
You should see the CryptPad homepage which looks like this:
Now you know how to install CryptPad on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can use CryptPad to create and collaborate on encrypted documents, spreadsheets, presentations and more. Enjoy!
