Dependencies

Follow the below guides, and check their versions match required external dependencies versions. You can check them automatically via sudo npx engineslist.

note: only LTS versions of external dependencies are supported. If no LTS version matching the version constraint is available, only release versions are supported.

Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives

  1. On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu, as root user, install basic utility programs needed for the installation
# apt-get install curl sudo unzip vim
  1. It would be wise to disable root access and to continue this tutorial with a user with sudoers group access

  2. Install NodeJS 12.x: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

  3. Install yarn, and be sure to have a recent version: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab

  4. Run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot nginx ffmpeg postgresql postgresql-contrib openssl g++ make redis-server git python-dev cron
ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.1
g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x

Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should start PostgreSQL and Redis:

sudo systemctl start redis postgresql

Arch Linux

  1. Run:
sudo pacman -S nodejs-lts-dubnium yarn ffmpeg postgresql openssl redis git wget unzip python2 base-devel npm nginx

Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should start PostgreSQL and Redis:

sudo systemctl start redis postgresql

CentOS 7

  1. Install NodeJS 12.x: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora

  2. Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

  3. Install or compile ffmpeg:

  1. Install Packages:
sudo yum update
sudo yum install epel-release centos-release-scl
sudo yum update
sudo yum install nginx postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make wget redis git devtoolset-7
  1. You need to use a more up to date version of G++ in order to run the yarn install command, hence the installation of devtoolset-7.
sudo scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

Later when you invoke any node command, please prefix them with CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/g++, such as with:

sudo -H -u peertube CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/g++ yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
  1. Initialize the PostgreSQL database:
sudo postgresql-setup initdb

Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should enable and start PostgreSQL and Redis:

sudo systemctl enable --now redis
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

Centos 8

  1. Install NodeJS 12.x: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora

  2. Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

  3. Install or compile ffmpeg:

  1. Install packages:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install nginx postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make wget redis git
  1. You'll need a symlink for python3 to python for youtube-dl to work
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
  1. Initialize the PostgreSQL database:
sudo postgresql-setup initdb

Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should enable and start PostgreSQL and Redis:

sudo systemctl enable --now redis
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

Fedora

  1. Upgrade your packages:
dnf upgrade
  1. Add a user with sudoers group access:
useradd my-peertube-user
passwd my-peertube-user
usermod my-peertube-user -a -G wheel	# Add my-peertube-user to sudoers
su my-peertube-user
  1. (Optional) Install certbot (choose instructions for your distribution): https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions

  2. Install NodeJS 12.x: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora

  3. Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

  4. Enable RPM Fusion for Fedora (available for x86, x86_64, armhfp)

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

This is necessary because ffmpeg is not in the Fedora repos.

  1. Run:
sudo dnf install nginx ffmpeg postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make redis git
ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.1
g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x
  1. Post-installation

from PostgreSQL documentation:

Due to policies for Red Hat family distributions, the PostgreSQL installation will not be enabled for automatic start or have the database initialized automatically.

# PostgreSQL
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
# Nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx.service
sudo systemctl start nginx.service
# Redis
sudo systemctl enable redis.service
sudo systemctl start redis.service
  1. Firewall

By default, you cannot access your server via public IP. To do so, you must configure firewall:

# Ports used by peertube dev setup
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3000/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp
# Optional
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
# Reload firewall
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
  1. Configure max ports

This is necessary if you are running dev setup, otherwise you will have errors with nodemon

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

More info

FreeBSD

On a fresh install of FreeBSD, new system or new jail:

  1. bootstrap pkg, initialize db and install peertube's dependencies, always as root (sudo not yet installed):
pkg
pkg update
pkg install -y sudo bash wget git python nginx pkgconf vips postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib redis openssl node npm yarn ffmpeg unzip
  1. Allow users in the wheel group (hope you don't forgot to add your user on wheel group!) to use sudo.
# visudo

Uncomment the line 90

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
  1. Enable nginx, redis, postgresql services and initialize database.
sysrc postgresql_enable="YES"
sysrc redis_enable="YES"
sysrc nginx_enable="YES"

Initialize database and start services

service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start
service redis start
service nginx start

macOS

  1. Add the packages:
brew install ffmpeg nginx postgresql openssl gcc make redis git yarn
  1. Run the services:
brew services run postgresql
brew services run redis

Gentoo

  1. Add this to /etc/portage/sets/peertube:
net-libs/nodejs
sys-apps/yarn
media-video/ffmpeg[x264] # Optionnally add vorbis,vpx
dev-db/postgresql
dev-db/redis
dev-vcs/git
app-arch/unzip
dev-lang/python:2.7
www-servers/nginx

# Optional, client for Lets Encrypt:
# app-crypt/certbot
  1. If you are on a "stable" Gentoo you need to accept the testing keyword ~amd64 yarn:
mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.keywords
cat << EOF >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/peertube
# required by yarn (argument) for PeerTube
sys-apps/yarn ~amd64
EOF
  1. Compile the peertube set:
emerge -a @peertube
  1. Initialize the PostgreSQL database if you just merged it:
emerge --config postgresql
  1. (For OpenRC) Enable and then start the services (replace with the correct PostgreSQL slot):
rc-update add redis
rc-update add postgresql-11
rc-service redis start
rc-service postgresql-11 start
