## Installation
|
|
|
|
Please don't install PeerTube for production on a device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: your ADSL link).
|
|
If you want information about the appropriate hardware to run PeerTube, please see the [FAQ](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube).
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
**Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).**
|
|
|
|
### PeerTube user
|
|
|
|
Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set its password:
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo passwd peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**On FreeBSD**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ 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.
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
|
|
Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube -E UTF8 -T template0 peertube_prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Prepare PeerTube directory
|
|
|
|
Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube
|
|
```
|
|
$ 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
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions && cd versions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip"
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install Peertube:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
|
|
$ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### PeerTube configuration
|
|
|
|
Copy example configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
**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.
|
|
|
|
### Webserver
|
|
|
|
We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
|
|
|
|
Copy the nginx configuration template:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set the domain for the webserver configuration file.
|
|
Replace `[peertube-domain]` with the domain for the peertube server.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo sed -i 's/${WEBSERVER_HOST}/[peertube-domain]/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
$ sudo sed -i 's/${PEERTUBE_HOST}/localhost:9000/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Activate the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ 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/):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
|
|
$ sudo certbot certonly --standalone --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal.
|
|
|
|
Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**FreeBSD**
|
|
On FreeBSD you can use [Dehydrated](https://dehydrated.io/) `security/dehydrated` for [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo pkg install dehydrated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### TCP/IP Tuning
|
|
|
|
A lot of your instance's raw performance is dependent on a properly tuned machine and more specifically, reverse-proxy. We provide support for Nginx and spent a lot of time putting sane defaults in it, but we strongly advise you to follow up with instructions in https://github.com/denji/nginx-tuning as needed.
|
|
|
|
**On Linux**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ 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.
|
|
|
|
### systemd
|
|
|
|
If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the service file (PeerTube paths and security directives):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell systemd to reload its config:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start peertube
|
|
$ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**FreeBSD**
|
|
On FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo install -m 0555 /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
|
|
$ sudo sysrc peertube_enable="YES"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo service peertube start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### OpenRC
|
|
|
|
If your OS uses OpenRC, copy the service script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/init.d/peertube /etc/init.d/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo rc-update add peertube default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run and print last logs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo /etc/init.d/peertube start
|
|
$ tail -f /var/log/peertube/peertube.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Administrator
|
|
|
|
The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the
|
|
logs. You can set another password with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can set the environment variable `PT_INITIAL_ROOT_PASSWORD`,
|
|
to your own administrator password, although it must be 6 characters or more.
|
|
|
|
### What now?
|
|
|
|
Now your instance is up you can:
|
|
|
|
* Subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin
|
|
* 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)
|
|
|
