Trivial install of Etherpad onto a Raspberry Pi to aid localised documentation
- Install Ansible on your computer
- Install the latest Raspbian lite image onto a micro-SD card
- Boot the Raspberry Pi with the micro-SD card, while plugged into a network via Ethernet
- Find out the IP address of the Raspberry Pi
- Copy your SSH credentials onto the Pi
ssh-copy-id pi@<ip-address-of-the-pi>
- Edit the
hosts
file so ansible knows which computer to configure. Change the IP address in it to match the one you just found out. - Check you can run commands on the Pi using Ansible
ansible eiab -i hosts -a "hostname" -u pi
- Update the Pi
ansible-playbook eiab.yml -i hosts
Once the install is complete, you'll have a local Etherpad server available at http://etherpad.local:9001
