## 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):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git
 | 
						|
$ CLONE="$(pwd)/PeerTube"
 | 
						|
$ cd ${CLONE}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install dependencies and build CLI tools:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
    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>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ cd ${CLONE}
 | 
						|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-upload.js --help
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### peertube-plugins.js
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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 uninstall --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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-remote-redundancies
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To list remote videos that your instance duplicated:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To remove a video redundancy:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level info
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`--level` is optional and could be `info`/`warn`/`error`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can also remove SQL or HTTP logs using `--not-tags` (PeerTube >= 3.2):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
 | 
						|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### regenerate-thumbnails.js
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**PeerTube >= 3.2**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Regenerating local video thumbnails could be useful because new PeerTube releases may increase thumbnail sizes:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
 | 
						|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run regenerate-thumbnails
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run regenerate-thumbnails
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### create-transcoding-job.js
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can use this script to force transcoding of an existing video. PeerTube needs to be running.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To generate transcoding jobs depending on the instance configuration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or to transcode to a specific resolution:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube 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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube 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):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 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).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
 | 
						|
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run update-host
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### reset-password.js
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To reset a user password from CLI, run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ # Basic installation
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube 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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From NPM:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To uninstall a plugin or a theme:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ # Docker installation
 | 
						|
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
 | 
						|
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
 | 
						|
```
 |
