# Overview
Etherpad lite is a really-real time collaborative editor spawned from the
Hell fire of Etherpad. It reuses the well tested Etherpad easysync library
to make it really realtime.
Etherpad Lite is based on node.js ergo is much lighter and more stable than
the original Etherpad. Our hope is that this will encourage more users to
use and install a realtime collaborative editor.
For more information see https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite.
# Usage
Etherpad will happily sit on single server::
juju deploy etherpad-lite
but it can also be backed by mysql::
juju deploy mysql
juju add-relation etherpad-lite mysql
Note that if you switch an existing etherpad-lite instance to use mysql you will
lose all of the pads within your standalone deployment - same applies
vica-versa.
You can change the upstream commit tag for etherpad-lite by using charm config
either in a yaml file::
etherpad-lite:
commit: 1.0
or::
juju set etherpad-lite commit=cfb58a80a30486156a15515164c9c0f4647f165b
This can be changed for an existing service as well - allowing you to upgrade to
a newer (potentially broken!) version.
