# Production guide
* [Installation](#installation)
* [Upgrade](#upgrade)
## Installation
**Please don't install PeerTube for production on a small device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: a Raspberry PI behind your ADSL link) because it could slow down the fediverse.**
### Dependencies
Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
### 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 -H -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
We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
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
```
Activate the configuration file:
```
$ 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/):
```
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Comment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
$ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Uncomment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal.
Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx:
```
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
### systemd
If your OS uses systemd, copy the 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
```
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
```
### FreeBSD
If you're using FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
```
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/peertube
$ sudo echo peertube_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
```
Run:
```
$ sudo service peertube start
```
### 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
```
Now you can subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin
## Upgrade
#### Auto (minor versions only)
```
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/scripts && sudo -u peertube ./upgrade.sh
$ sudo systemctl restart peertube && sudo journalctl -fu peertube
```
#### Manually
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
```
Install node dependencies:
```
$ cd /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION} && \
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/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/default.yaml /var/www/peertube/config/default.yaml
$ diff /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:
```
$ cd /var/www/peertube && \
sudo unlink ./peertube-latest && \
sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
```
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 && unlink ./peertube-latest && \
sudo -u peertube ln -s "versions/peertube-$OLD_VERSION" peertube-latest && \
pg_restore -U peertube -W -h localhost -c -d peertube_prod "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
sudo systemctl restart peertube
```
