How To Install OpenRefine on a web server with Ubuntu 22.04

OpenRefine is intended to be installed locally as a desktop application. Due to the client-server architecture it is also possible to install OpenRefine on a web server to share it with multiple users. This can be useful despite the missing user administration, e.g. temporarily for a workshop or permanently in a protected network.

Security warning

Can I somehow host OpenRefine for others to access ?
