For testing purposes, the default database backend for Etherpad is the file-based DirtyDB. With that, you can run and test Etherpad-

If you want to use MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite, you can adjust those settings in the settings.json file. Further, you can set a
password for the administrator interface on http://localhost:9001/admin, change port and listening address, etc.

At least, do not forget to set a sessionkey, e.g. generate with pwgen (https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=pwgen) and
pwgen --symbols 10 1 and write it down to /etc/etherpad-lite/SESSIONKEY.txt .

Your Etherpad installation can be extended with plugins listed at the administrator interface.
