Production guide

Installation

Dependencies

Follow the steps of the dependencies guide.

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

Database

Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube 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 -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.

Webserver

Copy the nginx configuration template:

$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /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

If you want to set https with Let's Encrypt please follow the steps of this guide.

An example of the nginx configuration could be:

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name peertube.example.com;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.error.log;

  rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
  listen 443 ssl http2;
  listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
  server_name peertube.example.com;

  # For example with Let's Encrypt
  ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.example.com/fullchain.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.example.com/privkey.pem;
  ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.example.com/chain.pem;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.error.log;

  location ^~ '/.well-known/acme-challenge' {
    default_type "text/plain";
    root /var/www/certbot;
  }

  location ~ ^/client/(.*\.(js|css|woff2|otf|ttf|woff|eot))$ {
    add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable";

    alias /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/client/dist/$1;
  }

  location ~ ^/static/(thumbnails|avatars)/(.*)$ {
    add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable";

    alias /var/www/peertube/storage/$1/$2;
  }

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    client_max_body_size 8G;
    proxy_connect_timeout       600;
    proxy_send_timeout          600;
    proxy_read_timeout          600;
    send_timeout                600;
  }

  # Bypass PeerTube webseed route for better performances
  location /static/webseed {
    if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, OPTIONS';
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Range,DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';

      add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
      return 204;
    }

    if ($request_method = 'GET') {
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, OPTIONS';
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Range,DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';

      # Don't spam access log file with byte range requests
      access_log off;
    }

    alias /var/www/peertube/storage/videos;
  }

  # Websocket tracker
  location /tracker/socket {
    # Peers send a message to the tracker every 15 minutes
    # Don't close the websocket before this time
    proxy_read_timeout 1200s;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
  }
}

Activate the configuration file:

$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx

Systemd

Copy the nginx configuration template:

$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/

Update the service file:

$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service

It should look like this:

[Unit]
Description=PeerTube daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
Environment=NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config
User=peertube
Group=peertube
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=peertube
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

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

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

Upgrade

Make a SQL backup

$ SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-$(date -Im).bak" && \
    cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir -p backup && \
    sudo pg_dump -U peertube -W -h localhost -F c peertube_prod -f "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"

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"

Download the new version and unzip it:

$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions && \
    sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip" && \
    sudo -u peertube unzip -o peertube-${VERSION}.zip && \
    sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip

Change the link to point to the latest version:

$ cd /var/www/peertube && \
    sudo rm ./peertube-latest && \
    sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest

Install node dependencies:

$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && \
    sudo -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile

Copy new configuration defaults values and update your configuration file:

$ sudo -u peertube cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/config/default.yaml /var/www/peertube/config/default.yaml
$ diff /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/config//production.yaml.example /var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml

Restart PeerTube:

$ sudo systemctl restart peertube

Things went wrong?

Change peertube-latest destination to the previous version and restore your SQL backup:

$ OLD_VERSION="v0.42.42" && SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-2018-01-19T10:18+01:00.bak" && \
    cd /var/www/peertube && rm ./peertube-latest && \
    sudo -u peertube ln -s "versions/peertube-$OLD_VERSION" peertube-latest && \
    pg_restore -U peertube -c -d peertube_prod "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
    sudo systemctl restart peertube

Installation on Docker Swarm

There is an example configuration for deploying peertube and a postgres database as a Docker swarm stack. It works like this:

(Note: You need to make sure to set traefik and peertube labels on the target node(s) for this configuration to work.)

  1. Install a traefik loadbalancer stack (including Let's Encrypt) on your docker swarm. Here is an example configuration.

  2. Copy the example stack file for peertube:

     scp support/docker/production/docker-stack.example.yml root@your-server:/path/to/your/swarm-config/peertube.yml

  3. Have a look at the file and adjust the variables to your need.

  4. Deploy the stack:

     docker stack deploy -c peertube.yml peertube
