Docker guide

This guide requires docker and docker-compose V2.

docker compose version # Must be > 2.x.x

Install

PeerTube does not support webserver host change. Keep in mind your domain name is definitive after your first PeerTube start.

Go to your workdir

:::info The guide that follows assumes an empty workdir, but you can also clone the repository, use the master branch and cd support/docker/production. :::

cd /your/peertube/directory

Get the latest Compose file

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/docker/production/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml

View the source of the file you're about to download: docker-compose.yml

Get the latest env_file

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/docker/production/.env > .env

View the source of the file you're about to download: .env

Tweak the docker-compose.yml file there according to your needs

sudo nano docker-compose.yml

Then tweak the .env file to change the environment variables settings

sudo nano .env

In the downloaded example .env, you must replace:

  • <MY POSTGRES USERNAME>
  • <MY POSTGRES PASSWORD>
  • <MY DOMAIN> without 'https://'
  • <MY EMAIL ADDRESS>
  • <MY PEERTUBE SECRET>

Other environment variables are used in /support/docker/production/config/custom-environment-variables.yaml and can be intuited from usage.

Webserver

::: info The docker compose file includes a configured web server. You can skip this part and comment the appropriate section in the docker compose if you use another webserver/proxy.:::

Install the template that the nginx container will use. The container will generate the configuration by replacing ${WEBSERVER_HOST} and ${PEERTUBE_HOST} using your docker compose env file.

mkdir -p docker-volume/nginx
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/nginx/peertube > docker-volume/nginx/peertube

You need to manually generate the first SSL/TLS certificate using Let's Encrypt:

mkdir -p docker-volume/certbot
docker run -it --rm --name certbot -p 80:80 -v "$(pwd)/docker-volume/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt" certbot/certbot certonly --standalone

A dedicated container in the docker-compose will automatically renew this certificate and reload nginx.

Test your setup

note: Newer versions of compose are called with docker compose instead of docker-compose, so remove the dash in all steps that use this command if you are getting errors.

Run your containers:

docker-compose up

Obtaining your automatically-generated admin credentials

You can change the automatically created password for user root by running this command from peertube's root directory:

docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u root

You can also grep your peertube container's logs for the default root password. You're going to want to run docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root to search the log output for your new PeerTube's instance admin credentials which will look something like this.

docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root

peertube_1  | [example.com:443] 2019-11-16 04:26:06.082 info: Username: root
peertube_1  | [example.com:443] 2019-11-16 04:26:06.083 info: User password: abcdefghijklmnop

Obtaining Your Automatically Generated DKIM DNS TXT Record

DKIM signature sending and RSA keys generation are enabled by the default Postfix image mwader/postfix-relay with OpenDKIM.

Run cat ./docker-volume/opendkim/keys/*/*.txt to display your DKIM DNS TXT Record containing the public key to configure to your domain :

cat ./docker-volume/opendkim/keys/*/*.txt

peertube._domainkey.mydomain.tld.	IN	TXT	( "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; "

Upgrade

::: warning Check the changelog (in particular the IMPORTANT NOTES section):** https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md :::

Pull the latest images:

cd /your/peertube/directory
docker-compose pull

Stop, delete the containers and internal volumes (to invalidate static client files shared by peertube and webserver containers):

docker-compose down -v

Rerun PeerTube:

docker-compose up -d

Build

Production

git clone https://github.com/chocobozzz/PeerTube /tmp/peertube
cd /tmp/peertube
docker build . -f ./support/docker/production/Dockerfile.bullseye

Development

We don't have a Docker image for development. See the CONTRIBUTING guide for more information on how you can hack PeerTube!
