## Installation
2018-07-24 16:22:21 +02:00
Please don't install PeerTube for production on a device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: your ADSL link).
2021-05-01 15:43:28 +02:00
If you want information about the appropriate hardware to run PeerTube, please see the [FAQ](https://joinpeertube.org/en_US/faq#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube).

### :hammer: Dependencies
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
### :construction_worker: PeerTube user
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
```
Set its password:
```bash
$ sudo passwd peertube
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
**On FreeBSD**
```bash
$ sudo pw useradd -n peertube -d /var/www/peertube -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m
$ sudo passwd peertube
```
or use `adduser` to create it interactively.
### :card_file_box: Database
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ cd /var/www/peertube
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
```
2021-03-04 12:24:23 +01:00
Here you should enter a password for PostgreSQL `peertube` user, that should be copied in `production.yaml` file.
Don't just hit enter else it will be empty.
```bash
2020-01-29 11:48:19 +01:00
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube -E UTF8 -T template0 peertube_prod
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
2018-07-19 16:17:54 +02:00
Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
```bash
2018-07-19 16:17:54 +02:00
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod
```
### :page_facing_up: Prepare PeerTube directory
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube:
```bash
$ VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/chocobozzz/peertube/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) && echo "Latest Peertube version is $VERSION"
```
Open the peertube directory, create a few required directories:
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ cd /var/www/peertube
$ sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions
2021-04-27 09:36:00 +02:00
$ sudo -u peertube chmod 750 config/
```
Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip:
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions
$ # Releases are also available on https://builds.joinpeertube.org/release
$ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip"
2021-03-03 12:23:23 +01:00
$ sudo -u peertube unzip -q peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
```
2018-05-27 03:25:10 +02:00
Install Peertube:
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ cd /var/www/peertube
$ sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
$ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
### :wrench: PeerTube configuration
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
2021-01-04 10:29:08 +01:00
Copy the default configuration file that contains the default configuration provided by PeerTube.
You **must not** update this file.
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ cd /var/www/peertube
$ sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/default.yaml config/default.yaml
2021-01-04 10:29:08 +01:00
```
Now copy the production example configuration:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ cd /var/www/peertube
$ sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
and database configuration (`webserver`, `database`, `redis`, `smtp` and `admin.email` sections in particular).
Keys defined in `config/production.yaml` will override keys defined in `config/default.yaml`.
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
2021-01-05 11:01:12 +01:00
**PeerTube does not support webserver host change**. Even though [PeerTube CLI can help you to switch hostname](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain-tools?id=update-hostjs) there's no official support for that since it is a risky operation that might result in unforeseen errors.
### :truck: Webserver
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
Copy the nginx configuration template:
```bash
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
2020-08-14 14:59:15 +02:00
Then set the domain for the webserver configuration file.
Replace `[peertube-domain]` with the domain for the peertube server.
```bash
$ sudo sed -i 's/${WEBSERVER_HOST}/[peertube-domain]/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
$ sudo sed -i 's/${PEERTUBE_HOST}/127.0.0.1:9000/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
```
2018-01-18 17:44:13 +01:00
Then modify the webserver configuration file. Please pay attention to the `alias` keys of the static locations.
It should correspond to the paths of your storage directories (set in the configuration file inside the `storage` key).
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
```
2018-02-16 11:04:12 +01:00
Activate the configuration file:
```bash
2018-02-16 11:04:12 +01:00
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
```
To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work you can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/):
```bash
2018-02-16 11:04:12 +01:00
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
2021-02-04 16:50:35 +01:00
$ sudo certbot certonly --standalone --post-hook "systemctl restart nginx"
2018-03-01 16:12:00 +01:00
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
2018-02-16 11:04:12 +01:00
Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
Certbot should have installed a cron to automatically renew your certificate.
Since our nginx template supports webroot renewal, we suggest you to update the renewal config file to use the `webroot` authenticator:
```bash
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ # Replace authenticator = standalone by authenticator = webroot
2021-02-04 16:45:00 +01:00
$ # Add webroot_path = /var/www/certbot
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
$ sudo vim /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/your-domain.com.conf
```
**FreeBSD**
On FreeBSD you can use [Dehydrated](https://dehydrated.io/) `security/dehydrated` for [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
```bash
$ sudo pkg install dehydrated
```
### :alembic: TCP/IP Tuning
**On Linux**
```bash
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf /etc/sysctl.d/
$ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf
```
Your distro may enable this by default, but at least Debian 9 does not, and the default FIFO
scheduler is quite prone to "Buffer Bloat" and extreme latency when dealing with slower client
links as we often encounter in a video server.
### :bricks: systemd
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
2018-03-20 08:28:20 +01:00
If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
2020-08-26 08:31:20 +02:00
Check the service file (PeerTube paths and security directives):
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
Tell systemd to reload its config:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
2018-01-15 11:10:46 +01:00
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
```bash
2018-01-17 11:47:45 +01:00
$ sudo systemctl enable peertube
2018-01-15 11:10:46 +01:00
```
2018-03-20 08:28:20 +01:00
Run:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start peertube
$ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
2018-08-21 10:48:57 +02:00
**FreeBSD**
On FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
2018-03-19 22:48:15 +01:00
```bash
$ sudo install -m 0555 /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
$ sudo sysrc peertube_enable="YES"
2018-03-19 22:48:15 +01:00
```
2018-03-20 08:28:20 +01:00
Run:
2018-03-19 22:48:15 +01:00
```bash
2018-03-19 22:48:15 +01:00
$ sudo service peertube start
```
### :bricks: OpenRC
If your OS uses OpenRC, copy the service script:
```bash
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/init.d/peertube /etc/init.d/
```
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
```bash
$ sudo rc-update add peertube default
```
Run and print last logs:
```bash
$ sudo /etc/init.d/peertube start
$ tail -f /var/log/peertube/peertube.log
```
### :technologist: Administrator
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
2021-01-11 10:09:24 +01:00
The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the PeerTube
logs (path defined in `production.yaml`). You can also set another password with:
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```bash
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
2018-01-12 18:07:41 +01:00
```
Alternatively you can set the environment variable `PT_INITIAL_ROOT_PASSWORD`,
to your own administrator password, although it must be 6 characters or more.
### :tada: What now?
Now your instance is up you can:
2020-08-14 14:59:15 +02:00
* Add your instance to the public PeerTube instances index if you want to: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/
* Check [available CLI tools](/support/doc/tools.md)
