etherpad automatic setup #6

Open alexsavio opened 8 years ago

It would be nice to have a script that automatically sets up an etherpad local server for you.

Maybe an explanation of how to run this on the README file: https://hub.docker.com/r/mkodockx/docker-etherpad/

or a script that clones and sets up etherpad directly from: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite#installation

Opinions?

In fact it is quite easy to run it from Linux or Mac from the clone. Maybe we could add specific settings to make it working with shellther directly. Is it needed?

Hi @alexsavio,

The only thing shellther needs access to, is the API key (which is generated during installation, I think). With the docker container, I guess it is possible to feed the container a file with the API key in it. With the cloning script, it would be a similar story -- the script could create the file with the API key in it.

The only down side of this, is that you need a server where to run etherpad-lite. But if you already have one, then it is not an issue.
