Docker based etherpad-lite instance

Etherpad Lite

Based on my first Docker experiments. This builds a container which has etherpad lite installed and set up.

Interface

Environment

When generating the settings, the following environment variables are taken into account:

EP_TITLE

Used to set the title when the settings are generated.

Default: "Etherpad"

EP_SESSION_KEY

Allows to specify the session key to be used when the settings are generated.

Default: Random generated string value

Note

The settings are only generated once and then stored in the data volume. This way the session key is persistent between different invocations.

Volumes

Expects a data volume /data to be available. This volume will contain the following things:

• etherpad.db is the sqlite database

• etherpad-settings.json is the generated configuration

  Main reason to have it in data is to persist the session key between invocations.

• etherpad.log contains the logs

Ports

Exposes a port 9001 to reach the pads
