## Remote Tools
|
|
|
|
You need at least 512MB RAM to run the script.
|
|
Scripts can be launched directly from a PeerTube server, or from a separate server, even a desktop PC.
|
|
You need to follow all the following steps even if you are on a PeerTube server (including cloning the git repository in a different directory than your production installation because the scripts utilize non-production dependencies).
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install the [PeerTube dependencies](dependencies.md) except PostgreSQL and Redis.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Clone the PeerTube repo to get the latest version (even if you are on your PeerTube server):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git
|
|
$ CLONE="$(pwd)/PeerTube"
|
|
$ cd ${CLONE}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies and build CLI tools:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ NOCLIENT=1 yarn install --pure-lockfile
|
|
$ npm run setup:cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CLI wrapper
|
|
|
|
The wrapper provides a convenient interface to the following scripts.
|
|
You can access it as `peertube` via an alias in your `.bashrc` like `alias peertube="cd /your/peertube/directory/ && node ./dist/server/tools/peertube.js"` (you have to keep the `cd` command):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Usage: peertube [command] [options]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
-v, --version output the version number
|
|
-h, --help output usage information
|
|
|
|
Commands:
|
|
|
|
auth [action] register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands
|
|
upload|up upload a video
|
|
import-videos|import import a video from a streaming platform
|
|
watch|w watch a video in the terminal ✩°｡⋆
|
|
repl initiate a REPL to access internals
|
|
plugins|p [action] manage instance plugins
|
|
redundancy|r [action] manage video redundancies
|
|
help [cmd] display help for [cmd]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ peertube auth add -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD'
|
|
$ peertube auth list
|
|
┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
|
|
│ instance │ login │
|
|
├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ 'PEERTUBE_URL' │ 'PEERTUBE_USER' │
|
|
└──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now use that account to upload videos without feeding the same parameters again.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ peertube up <videoFile>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now that your video is online, you can watch it from the confort of your terminal (use `peertube watch --help` to see the supported players):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ peertube watch https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/e8a1af4e-414a-4d58-bfe6-2146eed06d10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To list, install, uninstall dynamically plugins/themes of an instance:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ peertube plugins list
|
|
$ peertube plugins install --path /local/plugin/path
|
|
$ peertube plugins install --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
|
|
$ peertube plugins uninstall --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### peertube-import-videos.js
|
|
|
|
You can use this script to import videos from all [supported sites of youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) into PeerTube.
|
|
Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
|
|
-u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
|
|
-U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
|
|
--password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
|
|
--target-url 'TARGET_URL'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `PEERTUBE_URL` : the full URL of your PeerTube server where you want to import, eg: https://peertube.cpy.re
|
|
* `PEERTUBE_USER` : your PeerTube account where videos will be uploaded
|
|
* `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `--password PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` is omitted, you will be prompted for it)
|
|
* `TARGET_URL` : the target url you want to import. Examples:
|
|
* YouTube:
|
|
* Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChannelId
|
|
* User https://www.youtube.com/c/UserName or https://www.youtube.com/user/UserName
|
|
* Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blabla
|
|
* Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/xxxxxx
|
|
* Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/xxxxx
|
|
|
|
The script will get all public videos from Youtube, download them and upload to PeerTube.
|
|
Already downloaded videos will not be uploaded twice, so you can run and re-run the script in case of crash, disconnection...
|
|
|
|
Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
|
|
|
|
**NB**: If you want to synchronize a Youtube channel to your PeerTube instance (ensure you have the agreement from the author),
|
|
you can add a [crontab rule](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto) (or an equivalent of your OS) and insert
|
|
these rules (ensure to customize them to your needs):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Update youtube-dl every day at midnight
|
|
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/npm rebuild youtube-dl --prefix /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/
|
|
|
|
# Synchronize the YT channel every sunday at 22:00 all the videos published since last monday included
|
|
0 22 * * 0 /usr/bin/node /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js -u '__PEERTUBE_URL__' -U '__USER__' --password '__PASSWORD__' --target-url 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/___CHANNEL__' --since $(date --date="-6 days" +%Y-%m-%d)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also you may want to subscribe to the PeerTube channel in order to manually check the synchronization is successful.
|
|
|
|
#### peertube-upload.js
|
|
|
|
You can use this script to import videos directly from the CLI.
|
|
|
|
Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd ${CLONE}
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-upload.js --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### peertube-watch.js
|
|
|
|
You can use this script to play videos directly from the CLI.
|
|
|
|
It provides support for different players:
|
|
|
|
- ascii (default ; plays in ascii art in your terminal!)
|
|
- mpv
|
|
- mplayer
|
|
- vlc
|
|
- stdout
|
|
- xbmc
|
|
- airplay
|
|
- chromecast
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### peertube-plugins.js
|
|
|
|
Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd ${CLONE}
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js --help
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js list --help
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --help
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js update --help

|
|
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --path /my/plugin/path
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --npm-name peertube-theme-example
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### peertube-redundancy.js
|
|
|
|
Manage (list/add/remove) video redundancies:
|
|
|
|
To list your videos that are duplicated by remote instances:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-remote-redundancies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To list remote videos that your instance duplicated:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To remove a video redundancy:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy remove --video 823
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Server tools
|
|
|
|
These scripts should be run on the server, in `peertube-latest` directory.
|
|
|
|
### parse-log
|
|
|
|
To parse PeerTube last log file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`--level` is optional and could be `info`/`warn`/`error`
|
|
|
|
### create-transcoding-job.js
|
|
|
|
You can use this script to force transcoding of an existing video. PeerTube needs to be running.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or to transcode to a specific resolution:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] -r [resolution]
|
|
```
|
|
The resolution should be an integer (`1080`, `720`, `480`, etc.)
|
|
|
|
To generate an HLS playlist for a video:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v [videoUUID]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### create-import-video-file-job.js
|
|
|
|
You can use this script to import a video file to replace an already uploaded file or to add a new resolution to a video. PeerTube needs to be running.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### prune-storage.js
|
|
|
|
Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage.
|
|
Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### optimize-old-videos.js
|
|
|
|
Before version v1.0.0-beta.16, Peertube did not specify a bitrate for the
|
|
transcoding of uploaded videos. This means that videos might be encoded into
|
|
very large files that are too large for streaming. This script re-transcodes
|
|
these videos so that they can be watched properly, even on slow connections.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run optimize-old-videos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### update-host.js
|
|
|
|
**Changing the hostname is unsupported and may be a risky operation, especially if you have already federated.**
|
|
If you started PeerTube with a domain, and then changed it you will have
|
|
invalid torrent files and invalid URLs in your database. To fix this, you have
|
|
to run the command below (keep in mind your follower instances will NOT update their URLs).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### reset-password.js
|
|
|
|
To reset a user password from CLI, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### plugin install/uninstall
|
|
|
|
The difference with `peertube plugins` CLI is that these scripts can be used even if PeerTube is not running.
|
|
If PeerTube is running, you need to restart it for the changes to take effect (whereas with `peertube plugins` CLI, plugins/themes are dynamically loaded on the server).
|
|
|
|
To install/update a plugin or a theme from the disk:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From NPM:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall a plugin or a theme:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### REPL (Read Eval Print Loop)
|
|
|
|
If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects even when PeerTube is not running, there is a REPL for that.
|
|
|
|
usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/peertube-repl.js`
|
|
|
|
"The default evaluator will, by default, assign the result of the most recently evaluated expression to the special variable `_` (underscore). Explicitly setting `_` to a value will disable this behavior."
|
|
|
|
- type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot
|
|
- type `.exit` to exit, note that you still have to press CTRL-C to actually exit, or press CTRL-C (3 times) without typing `.exit` to exit
|
|
- type `context` to list all available objects and libraries in the context, note: `Promise` is also available but it's not listed in the context, in case you need promises for something
|
|
- type `env` to see the loaded environment variables
|
|
- type `path` to access path library
|
|
- type `lodash` to access lodash library
|
|
- type `uuidv1` to access uuid/v1 library
|
|
- type `uuidv3` to access uuid/v3 library
|
|
- type `uuidv4` to access uuid/v4 library
|
|
- type `uuidv5` to access uuid/v5 library
|
|
- type `YoutubeDL` to access youtube-dl library
|
|
- type `cli` to access the cli helpers object
|
|
- type `logger` to access the logger; if you log to it, it will write to stdout and to the peertube.log file
|
|
- type `constants` to access the constants loaded by the server
|
|
- type `coreUtils` to access the core-utils helpers object
|
|
- type `ffmpegUtils` to access the ffmpeg-utils helpers object
|
|
- type `peertubeCryptoUtils` to access the peertube-crypto helpers object
|
|
- type `signupUtils` to access the signup helpers object
|
|
- type `utils` to access the utils helpers object
|
|
- type `YoutubeDLUtils` to access the youtube-dl helpers object
|
|
- type `sequelizeTypescript` to access sequelizeTypescript
|
|
- type `modelsUtils` to access the models/utils
|
|
- type `models` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.models
|
|
- type `transaction` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.transaction
|
|
- type `query` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.query
|
|
