Meeting Minutes (EtherPad)

The OpenTalk Controller uses an Etherpad server to provide a collaborative text editor for the meeting_notes module.

When no Etherpad is configured, the meeting_notes module is disabled.

Deploy Etherpad

An Etherpad instance is required before any configuration can be done. You can find a pre-configured Etherpad in our Open CoDE Etherpad repository.

You can clone the repository and build the Docker image yourself or download the image directly from the Container Registry

When you start the Docker container, make sure to configure the EP_APIKEY and ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variables as described in the Deployment section of the README.md.

Set the TRUST_PROXY environment variable if the Etherpad is running behind a reverse proxy.

Configuration

The section in the configuration file is called etherpad.
