6 | ## Installation | |
7 | ||
8 | Please don't install PeerTube for production on a device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: your ADSL link). | |
9 | If you want information about the appropriate hardware to run PeerTube, please see the [FAQ](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube). | |
10 | ||
11 | ### Dependencies | |
12 | ||
13 | **Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).** | |
14 | ||
15 | ### PeerTube user | |
16 | ||
17 | Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home: | |
18 | ||
19 | ``` | |
20 | $ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube | |
21 | ``` | |
22 | ||
23 | Set its password: | |
24 | ``` | |
25 | $ sudo passwd peertube | |
26 | ``` | |
27 | ||
28 | **On FreeBSD** | |
29 | ||
30 | ``` | |
31 | $ sudo pw useradd -n peertube -d /var/www/peertube -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m | |
32 | $ sudo passwd peertube | |
33 | ``` | |
34 | or use `adduser` to create it interactively. | |
35 | ||
36 | ### Database | |
37 | ||
38 | Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL: | |
39 | ||
40 | ``` | |
41 | $ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube | |
42 | $ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod | |
43 | ``` | |
44 | ||
45 | Then enable extensions PeerTube needs: | |
46 | ||
47 | ``` | |
48 | $ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod | |
49 | $ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod | |
50 | ``` | |
51 | ||
52 | ### Prepare PeerTube directory | |
53 | ||
54 | Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube | |
55 | ``` | |
56 | $ 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" | |
57 | ``` | |
58 | ||
59 | Open the peertube directory, create a few required directories | |
60 | ``` | |
61 | $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions && cd versions | |
62 | ``` | |
63 | ||
64 | Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip | |
65 | ``` | |
66 | $ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip" | |
67 | $ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip | |
68 | ``` | |
69 | ||
70 | Install Peertube: | |
71 | ``` | |
72 | $ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest | |
73 | $ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile | |
74 | ``` | |
75 | ||
76 | ### PeerTube configuration | |
77 | ||
78 | Copy example configuration: | |
79 | ||
80 | ``` | |
81 | $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml | |
82 | ``` | |
83 | ||
84 | Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver | |
85 | configuration. | |
86 | ||
87 | **PeerTube does not support webserver host change**. Keep in mind your domain name is definitive after your first PeerTube start. | |
88 | ||
89 | ### Webserver | |
90 | ||
91 | We only provide official configuration files for Nginx. | |
92 | ||
93 | Copy the nginx configuration template: | |
94 | ||
95 | ``` | |
96 | $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube | |
97 | ``` | |
98 | ||
99 | Then modify the webserver configuration file. Please pay attention to the `alias` keys of the static locations. | |
100 | It should correspond to the paths of your storage directories (set in the configuration file inside the `storage` key). | |
101 | ||
102 | ``` | |
103 | $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube | |
104 | ``` | |
105 | ||
106 | Activate the configuration file: | |
107 | ||
108 | ``` | |
109 | $ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube | |
110 | ``` | |
111 | ||
112 | To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work you can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/): | |
113 | ||
114 | ``` | |
115 | $ sudo systemctl stop nginx | |
116 | $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Comment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines | |
117 | $ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "systemctl start nginx" | |
118 | $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Uncomment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines | |
119 | $ sudo systemctl reload nginx | |
120 | ``` | |
121 | ||
122 | Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal. | |
123 | ||
124 | Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx: | |
125 | ||
126 | ``` | |
127 | $ sudo systemctl reload nginx | |
128 | ``` | |
129 | ||
130 | **FreeBSD** | |
131 | On FreeBSD you can use [Dehydrated](https://dehydrated.io/) `security/dehydrated` for [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) | |
132 | ||
133 | ``` | |
134 | $ sudo pkg install dehydrated | |
135 | ``` | |
136 | ||
137 | ### TCP/IP Tuning | |
138 | ||
139 | **On Linux** | |
140 | ||
141 | ``` | |
142 | $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf /etc/sysctl.d/ | |
143 | $ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf | |
144 | ``` | |
145 | ||
146 | Your distro may enable this by default, but at least Debian 9 does not, and the default FIFO | |
147 | scheduler is quite prone to "Buffer Bloat" and extreme latency when dealing with slower client | |
148 | links as we often encounter in a video server. | |
149 | ||
150 | ### systemd | |
151 | ||
152 | If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template: | |
153 | ||
154 | ``` | |
155 | $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/ | |
156 | ``` | |
157 | ||
158 | Update the service file: | |
159 | ||
160 | ``` | |
161 | $ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service | |
162 | ``` | |
163 | ||
164 | ||
165 | Tell systemd to reload its config: | |
166 | ||
167 | ``` | |
168 | $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload | |
169 | ``` | |
170 | ||
171 | If you want to start PeerTube on boot: | |
172 | ||
173 | ``` | |
174 | $ sudo systemctl enable peertube | |
175 | ``` | |
176 | ||
177 | Run: | |
178 | ||
179 | ``` | |
180 | $ sudo systemctl start peertube | |
181 | $ sudo journalctl -feu peertube | |
182 | ``` | |
183 | ||
184 | **FreeBSD** | |
185 | On FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf: | |
186 | ||
187 | ``` | |
188 | $ sudo install -m 0555 /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ | |
189 | $ sudo sysrc peertube_enable="YES" | |
190 | ``` | |
191 | ||
192 | Run: | |
193 | ||
194 | ``` | |
195 | $ sudo service peertube start | |
196 | ``` | |
197 | ||
198 | ### Administrator | |
199 | ||
200 | The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the | |
201 | logs. You can set another password with: | |
202 | ||
203 | ``` | |
204 | $ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root | |
205 | ``` | |
206 | ||
207 | Alternatively you can set the environment variable `PT_INITIAL_ROOT_PASSWORD`, | |
208 | to your own administrator password, although it must be 6 characters or more. | |
209 | ||
210 | ### What now? | |
211 | ||
212 | Now your instance is up you can: | |
213 | ||
214 | * Subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin | |
215 | * Add you instance to the public PeerTube instances index if you want to: https://instances.peertu.be/ | |
216 | * Check [available CLI tools](/support/doc/tools.md) | |
