########
|
|
|
|
Etherpad (previously known as "etherpad-lite") is installed on
|
|
etherpad.openstack.org to facilitate real-time collaboration on
|
|
documents. It is used extensively during OpenStack Developer
|
|
Summits.

Overview

========
|
|
|
|
Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and there is a MySQL database
|
|
backend.

Manual Administrative Tasks
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The following sections describe tasks that individuals with root
|
|
access may need to perform on rare occasions.
|
|
|
|
Deleting a Pad
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
On occasion it may be necessary to delete a pad, so as to redact
|
|
sensitive or illegal data posted to it (the revision history it keeps
|
|
makes this harder than just clearing the current contents through a
|
|
browser). This is fairly easily accomplished via the `HTTP API`_, but
|
|
you need the key which is saved in a file on the server so it's easiest
|
|
if done when SSH'd into it locally::
|
|
|
|
wget -qO- 'http://localhost:9001/api/1/deletePad?apikey='$(cat \
|
|
/opt/etherpad-lite/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt)'&padID=XXXXXXXXXX'
|
|
|
|
...where XXXXXXXXXX is the pad's name as it appears at the end of its
|
|
URL. If all goes well, you should receive a response like::
|
|
|
|
{"code":0,"message":"ok","data":null}
|
|
|
|
Browse to the original pad's URL and you should now see the fresh
|
|
welcome message boilerplate for a new pad. Check the pad's history and
|
|
note that it has no authors and no prior revisions.
