Installation

Prerequisites

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.

Dependencies

Install the PeerTube dependencies.

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"

Run yarn install

$ cd ${CLONE}
$ yarn install

Build server tools:

$ cd ${CLONE}
$ npm run build:server

Tools

import-videos.js

You can use this script to import videos from all supported sites of youtube-dl into PeerTube.
Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so.

$ cd ${CLONE}
$ node dist/server/tools/import-videos.js -u "PEERTUBE_URL" -U "PEERTUBE_USER" --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD" -t "TARGET_URL"

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...

upload.js

You can use this script to import videos directly from the CLI.

$ cd ${CLONE}
$ node dist/server/tools/upload.js --help
