@nebulon tried that:

app still doesn't start. same logs as above.

-
So the app should be up and running again. One installed plugin broke with the new etherpad version, in this case
ep_delete_empty_padsso after runningnpm rm ep_delete_empty_padsthe app starts up again.I will add some more info for such situations in the docs.
-
No real indicator, but since plugins are flimsy here, I just uninstalled one-by-one until it would start up again. I also found that a fresh installation of that plugin on a new instance also works. So clearly some combination you had caused the trouble.
Generally etherpad is really more like a framework to build a collaborative editor, we have written ep_cloudron for example to do basic authentication and document management. That alone is provided in all sorts of ways through many other plugins and those are all incompatible with each other. So one should be a bit careful which plugins are installed. Either way I will see how I can give more guidance how to fix a broken situation in the docs and also checking now how we can give the app a bit more polish.

there had been a 4 dependencies missing, 3 from the cloudron-module. while installing these, there was an error about

@chymian-0 We saw the exact same problem with @robi's instance. Essentially, one of the plugins was preventing the startup. After the log line "Your Etherpad version is 1.8.12", one is supposed to see "http server listening" or something like that. I recommend "npm rm" on each of the plugins as suggested in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/etherpad/#troubleshooting to debug which plugin causes this issue. Unfortunately, this is the life with plugins in etherpad, they keep breaking between releases
