13 | ## Translate |
14 | ||
15 | You can help us to translate the PeerTube interface to many languages! See [the documentation](/support/doc/translation.md) to know how. | |

20 | You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to PeerTube! Other |
21 | contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and | |
22 | report bugs, you can give feedback on potential bugs, features that you are | |
63bfad7e | 23 | interested in, user interface, design, decentralized architecture... |

25 | ||
63bfad7e | 26 | ## Write documentation |
7a7edb72 | 27 | |
63bfad7e | 28 | You can help to write the documentation of the REST API, code, architecture, |
d59a8da8 C |
29 | demonstrations. |
30 | ||
31 | For the REST API you can see the documentation in [/support/doc/api](/support/doc/api) directory. | |
32 | Then, you can just open the `openapi.yaml` file in a special editor like [http://editor.swagger.io/](http://editor.swagger.io/) to easily see and edit the documentation. | |
33 | ||
34 | Some hints: | |
35 | * Routes are defined in [/server/controllers/](/server/controllers/) directory | |
36 | * Parameters validators are defined in [/server/middlewares/validators](/server/middlewares/validators) directory | |
37 | * Models sent/received by the controllers are defined in [/shared/models](/shared/models) directory | |

63bfad7e | 40 | ## Develop |
7a7edb72 | 41 | |
7193ad10 | 42 | Don't hesitate to talk about features you want to develop by creating/commenting an issue |
e755a63a | 43 | before you start working on them :). |
7a7edb72 | 44 | |
63bfad7e | 45 | ### Prerequisites |
7a7edb72 | 46 | |
63bfad7e C |
47 | First, make sure that you have followed |
48 | [the steps](/support/doc/dependencies.md) | |
49 | to install the dependencies. | |
e755a63a | 50 | |
63bfad7e | 51 | Then clone the sources and install node modules: |
e755a63a | 52 | |
afe81767 | 53 | ``` |
c263f3b4 | 54 | $ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube |
63bfad7e C |
55 | $ cd PeerTube |
56 | $ yarn install --pure-lockfile | |
57 | ``` | |
e755a63a | 58 | |
dd07afa5 FA |
59 | Note that development is done on the `develop` branch. If you want to hack on |
60 | Peertube, you should switch to that branch. Also note that you have to repeat | |
61 | the `yarn install --pure-lockfile` command. | |
62 | ||
e755a63a BB |
63 | Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the |
64 | `config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values | |
65 | there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev` | |
66 | and a postgres user called `peertube` with password `peertube`: | |
67 | ||
afe81767 | 68 | ``` |
63bfad7e C |
69 | # sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube |
70 | Enter password for new role: peertube | |
71 | # sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev | |
e755a63a BB |
72 | ``` |
73 | ||
dd07afa5 FA |
74 | Then enable extensions PeerTube needs: |
75 | ||
76 | ``` | |
77 | $ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_dev | |
78 | $ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_dev | |
79 | ``` | |
80 | ||
63bfad7e C |
81 | In dev mode, administrator username is **root** and password is **test**. |
82 | ||
e755a63a BB |
83 | ### Server side |
84 | ||
63bfad7e C |
85 | You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture [here](/support/doc/development/server/code.md). |
86 | ||
e755a63a BB |
87 | To develop on the server-side: |
88 | ||
afe81767 | 89 | ``` |
63bfad7e | 90 | $ npm run dev:server |
e755a63a BB |
91 | ``` |
92 | ||
93 | Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files | |
94 | change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically | |
19096851 | 95 | restart. |
e755a63a BB |
96 | |
97 | ### Client side | |
98 | ||
63bfad7e C |
99 | You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture |
100 | [here](/support/doc/development/client/code.md). | |
101 | ||
102 | ||
e755a63a BB |
103 | To develop on the client side: |
104 | ||
afe81767 | 105 | ``` |
63bfad7e | 106 | $ npm run dev:client |
e755a63a BB |
107 | ``` |
108 | ||
109 | The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`. | |
110 | Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will | |
111 | reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement. | |
7a7edb72 | 112 | |
19096851 C |
113 | ### Client and server side |
114 | ||
115 | The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`. | |
116 | File changes are automatically recompiled, injected in the web browser (no need to refresh manually) | |
117 | and the web server is automatically restarted. | |
118 | ||
119 | ``` | |
120 | $ npm run dev | |
121 | ``` | |
122 | ||
123 | ### Federation | |
35a12fee | 124 | |
a9ab599e C |
125 | Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user. |
126 | Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist): | |
a2897212 C |
127 | |
128 | ``` | |
a9ab599e C |
129 | $ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb |
130 | $ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3} | |
a2897212 C |
131 | ``` |
132 | ||
133 | Build the application and flush the old tests data: | |
7a7edb72 | 134 | |
afe81767 | 135 | ``` |
19096851 | 136 | $ npm run build |
63bfad7e | 137 | $ npm run clean:server:test |
a2897212 C |
138 | ``` |
139 | ||
140 | This will run 3 nodes: | |
141 | ||
142 | ``` | |
63bfad7e C |
143 | $ npm run play |
144 | ``` | |
7a7edb72 | 145 | |
63bfad7e C |
146 | Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}` |
147 | with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password. | |
19096851 | 148 | |
dbe868c0 | 149 | Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3}.yaml`. |
19096851 C |
150 | |
151 | ### Unit tests | |
152 | ||
a9ab599e | 153 | Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user. |
6cca7360 | 154 | |
a9ab599e | 155 | Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist): |
a2897212 C |
156 | |
157 | ``` | |
6d492e56 C |
158 | $ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb --superuser |
159 | $ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3,4,5,6} | |
a2897212 C |
160 | ``` |
161 | ||
162 | Build the application and run the unit/integration tests: | |
19096851 C |
163 | |
164 | ``` | |
165 | $ npm run build | |
166 | $ npm test | |
167 | ``` | |
76434ec8 C |
168 | |
169 | If you just want to run 1 test: | |
170 | ||
171 | ``` | |
172 | $ npm run mocha -- --exit --require ts-node/register/type-check --bail server/tests/api/index.ts | |
173 | ``` | |
dbe868c0 C |
174 | |
175 | Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3,4,5,6}.yaml`. | |
176 | Note that only instance 2 has transcoding enabled. |
