Before you switch

Business software touches money and customer data, so run it in parallel with your current system for one full cycle before switching. Verify imports (contacts, products, invoices), user permissions, and backup exports. Most mature projects have active communities that have documented the migration path.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Etherpad is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
