CryptPad - private key and storage of 50 mb

[glitch]

What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.17
What app is this about: CryptPad

Describe your issue

I installed CryptPad accessible only for YunoHost users.
I create a user with a password.
I can download a public key and all seems to work.
Can i download a private key? I’m not able to found it.
Why my account has only 50 mb free space?

Thank you.

Hello, I cannot directly answer your questions, because I installed cryptpad as is, but I would like to make sure you read the cryptpad admin documentation, especially the customization part Instance customization — CryptPad 2025.6.0 documentation
You might find some help there

What private key are you talking about?
Administrator or user?

For storage
admin/#quota
User storage

I thought again about what I did once I installed cryptpad, and I followed this procedure: Installation — CryptPad 2025.6.0 documentation
I’ll just add some precisions to that procedure:

• the file cryptpad/config/config.js should be located at /var/www/cryptpad/config/config.js on your server and should be edited using sudo and your preferred editor (probably vim, emacs or nano)
• to restart the server, run the command sudo systemctl restart cryptpad.

About the private keys, you don’t need to know them nor to download them (they are private). The procedure I gave you says how to retrieve the public key, which will be used to make your account an administrator.

Once you are an administrator you can go to the url of your cryptad, and add /admin in the end of the url, then follow what @JfmbLinux said.
