## Installation
|
|
|
|
Please don't install PeerTube for production on a device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: your ADSL link).
|
|
If you want information about the appropriate hardware to run PeerTube, please see the [FAQ](https://joinpeertube.org/en_US/faq#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube).
|
|
|
|
### :hammer: Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
|
|
|
|
### :construction_worker: PeerTube user
|
|
|
|
Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set its password:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo passwd peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure the peertube root directory is traversable by nginx:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ls -ld /var/www/peertube # Should be drwxr-xr-x
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**On FreeBSD**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo pw useradd -n peertube -d /var/www/peertube -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m
|
|
$ sudo passwd peertube
|
|
```
|
|
or use `adduser` to create it interactively.
|
|
|
|
### :card_file_box: Database
|
|
|
|
Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here you should enter a password for PostgreSQL `peertube` user, that should be copied in `production.yaml` file.
|
|
Don't just hit enter else it will be empty.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube -E UTF8 -T template0 peertube_prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod
|
|
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :page_facing_up: Prepare PeerTube directory
|
|
|
|
Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube chmod 750 config/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions
|
|
$ # Releases are also available on https://builds.joinpeertube.org/release
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip"
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube unzip -q peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install Peertube:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
|
|
$ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :wrench: PeerTube configuration
|
|
|
|
Copy the default configuration file that contains the default configuration provided by PeerTube.
|
|
You **must not** update this file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/default.yaml config/default.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now copy the production example configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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
|
|
and database configuration (`webserver`, `database`, `redis`, `smtp` and `admin.email` sections in particular).
|
|
Keys defined in `config/production.yaml` will override keys defined in `config/default.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
**PeerTube does not support webserver host change**. Even though [PeerTube CLI can help you to switch hostname](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain-tools?id=update-hostjs) there's no official support for that since it is a risky operation that might result in unforeseen errors.
|
|
|
|
### :truck: Webserver
|
|
|
|
We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
|
|
|
|
Copy the nginx configuration template:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set the domain for the webserver configuration file.
|
|
Replace `[peertube-domain]` with the domain for the peertube server.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo sed -i 's/${WEBSERVER_HOST}/[peertube-domain]/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
$ sudo sed -i 's/${PEERTUBE_HOST}/127.0.0.1:9000/g' /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).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Activate the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work you can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
|
|
$ sudo certbot certonly --standalone --post-hook "systemctl restart nginx"
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Certbot should have installed a cron to automatically renew your certificate.
|
|
Since our nginx template supports webroot renewal, we suggest you to update the renewal config file to use the `webroot` authenticator:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ # Replace authenticator = standalone by authenticator = webroot
|
|
$ # Add webroot_path = /var/www/certbot
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/your-domain.com.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**FreeBSD**
|
|
On FreeBSD you can use [Dehydrated](https://dehydrated.io/) `security/dehydrated` for [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo pkg install dehydrated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :alembic: TCP/IP Tuning
|
|
|
|
**On Linux**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf /etc/sysctl.d/
|
|
$ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your distro may enable this by default, but at least Debian 9 does not, and the default FIFO
|
|
scheduler is quite prone to "Buffer Bloat" and extreme latency when dealing with slower client
|
|
links as we often encounter in a video server.
|
|
|
|
### :bricks: systemd
|
|
|
|
If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the service file (PeerTube paths and security directives):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell systemd to reload its config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start peertube
|
|
$ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**FreeBSD**
|
|
On FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo install -m 0555 /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
|
|
$ sudo sysrc peertube_enable="YES"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo service peertube start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :bricks: OpenRC
|
|
|
|
If your OS uses OpenRC, copy the service script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/init.d/peertube /etc/init.d/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo rc-update add peertube default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run and print last logs:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo /etc/init.d/peertube start
|
|
$ tail -f /var/log/peertube/peertube.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :technologist: Administrator
|
|
|
|
The administrator username is `root` and the password is automatically generated. It can be found in PeerTube
|
|
logs (path defined in `production.yaml`). You can also set another password with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can set the environment variable `PT_INITIAL_ROOT_PASSWORD`,
|
|
to your own administrator password, although it must be 6 characters or more.
|
|
|
|
### :tada: What now?
|
|
|
|
Now your instance is up you can:
|
|
|
|
* Add your instance to the public PeerTube instances index if you want to: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/
|
|
* Check [available CLI tools](/support/doc/tools.md)
|
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
#### Manually
|
|
|
|
Make a SQL backup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-$(date -Im).bak" && \
|
|
cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir -p backup && \
|

sudo -u postgres pg_dump -F c peertube_prod | sudo -u peertube tee "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH" >/dev/null
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install node dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION} && \
|
|
sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copy new configuration defaults values and update your configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo -u peertube cp /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/default.yaml /var/www/peertube/config/default.yaml
|
|
$ diff -u /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/production.yaml.example /var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change the link to point to the latest version:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube && \
|
|
sudo unlink ./peertube-latest && \
|
|
sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
You can check for configuration changes, and report them in your `config/production.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions
|
|
$ diff -u "$(ls --sort=t | head -2 | tail -1)/config/production.yaml.example" "$(ls --sort=t | head -1)/config/production.yaml.example"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### nginx
|
|
|
|
Check changes in nginx configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions
|
|
$ diff -u "$(ls --sort=t | head -2 | tail -1)/support/nginx/peertube" "$(ls --sort=t | head -1)/support/nginx/peertube"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### systemd
|
|
|
|
Check changes in systemd configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions
|
|
$ diff -u "$(ls --sort=t | head -2 | tail -1)/support/systemd/peertube.service" "$(ls --sort=t | head -1)/support/systemd/peertube.service"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restart PeerTube
|
|
|
|
If you changed your nginx configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you changed your systemd configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Restart PeerTube and check the logs:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl restart peertube && sudo journalctl -fu peertube
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Things went wrong?
|
|
|
|
Change `peertube-latest` destination to the previous version and restore your SQL backup:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ OLD_VERSION="v0.42.42" && SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-2018-01-19T10:18+01:00.bak" && \
|
|
cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube unlink ./peertube-latest && \
|
|
sudo -u peertube ln -s "versions/peertube-$OLD_VERSION" peertube-latest && \
|
|
sudo -u postgres pg_restore -c -C -d postgres "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH" && \
|
|
sudo systemctl restart peertube
|
|
```
|
