33 | ## Remote Tools | |
34 | ||
35 | You need at least 512MB RAM to run the script. | |
36 | Scripts can be launched directly from a PeerTube server, or from a separate server, even a desktop PC. | |
37 | 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). | |
38 | ||
39 | ### Dependencies | |
40 | ||
41 | Install the [PeerTube dependencies](dependencies.md) except PostgreSQL and Redis. | |
42 | PeerTube only supports NodeJS 10.x. | |
43 | ||
44 | ### Installation | |
45 | ||
46 | Clone the PeerTube repo to get the latest version (even if you are on your PeerTube server): | |
47 | ||
48 | ``` | |
49 | $ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git | |
50 | $ CLONE="$(pwd)/PeerTube" | |
51 | $ cd ${CLONE} | |
52 | ``` | |
53 | ||
54 | Install dependencies and build CLI tools: | |
55 | ||
56 | ``` | |
57 | $ NOCLIENT=1 yarn install --pure-lockfile | |
58 | $ npm run setup:cli | |
59 | ``` | |
60 | ||
61 | ### CLI wrapper | |
62 | ||
63 | The wrapper provides a convenient interface to the following scripts. | |
64 | 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): | |
65 | ||
66 | ``` | |
67 | Usage: peertube [command] [options] | |
68 | ||
69 | Options: | |
70 | ||
71 | -v, --version output the version number | |
72 | -h, --help output usage information | |
73 | ||
74 | Commands: | |
75 | ||
76 | auth [action] register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands | |
77 | upload|up upload a video | |
78 | import-videos|import import a video from a streaming platform | |
79 | watch|w watch a video in the terminal ✩°。⋆ | |
80 | repl initiate a REPL to access internals | |
81 | plugins|p [action] manage instance plugins | |
82 | redundancy|r [action] manage video redundancies | |
83 | help [cmd] display help for [cmd] | |
84 | ``` | |
85 | ||
86 | The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now. | |
87 | ||
88 | ```bash | |
89 | $ peertube auth add -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' | |
90 | $ peertube auth list | |
91 | ┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐ | |
92 | │ instance │ login │ | |
93 | ├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤ | |
94 | │ 'PEERTUBE_URL' │ 'PEERTUBE_USER' │ | |
95 | └──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘ | |
96 | ``` | |
97 | ||
98 | You can now use that account to upload videos without feeding the same parameters again. | |
99 | ||
100 | ```bash | |
101 | $ peertube up <videoFile> | |
102 | ``` | |
103 | ||
104 | And now that your video is online, you can watch it from the confort of your terminal (use `peertube watch --help` to see the supported players): | |
105 | ||
106 | ```bash | |
107 | $ peertube watch https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/e8a1af4e-414a-4d58-bfe6-2146eed06d10 | |
108 | ``` | |
109 | ||
110 | To list, install, uninstall dynamically plugins/themes of an instance: | |
111 | ||
112 | ```bash | |
113 | $ peertube plugins list | |
114 | $ peertube plugins install --path /local/plugin/path | |
115 | $ peertube plugins install --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin | |
116 | $ peertube plugins uninstall --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin | |
117 | ``` | |
118 | ||
119 | #### peertube-import-videos.js | |
120 | ||
121 | 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. | |
122 | Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so. | |
123 | ||
124 | ```sh | |
125 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \ | |
126 | -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \ | |
127 | -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \ | |
128 | --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \ | |
129 | --target-url 'TARGET_URL' | |
130 | ``` | |
131 | ||
132 | * `PEERTUBE_URL` : the full URL of your PeerTube server where you want to import, eg: https://peertube.cpy.re | |
133 | * `PEERTUBE_USER` : your PeerTube account where videos will be uploaded | |
134 | * `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `--password PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` is omitted, you will be prompted for it) | |
135 | * `TARGET_URL` : the target url you want to import. Examples: | |
136 | * YouTube: | |
137 | * Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChannelId | |
138 | * User https://www.youtube.com/c/UserName or https://www.youtube.com/user/UserName | |
139 | * Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blabla | |
140 | * Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/xxxxxx | |
141 | * Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/xxxxx | |
142 | ||
143 | The script will get all public videos from Youtube, download them and upload to PeerTube. | |
144 | Already downloaded videos will not be uploaded twice, so you can run and re-run the script in case of crash, disconnection... | |
145 | ||
146 | Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface). | |
147 | ||
148 | **NB**: If you want to synchronize a Youtube channel to your PeerTube instance (ensure you have the agreement from the author), | |
149 | you can add a [crontab rule](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto) (or an equivalent of your OS) and insert | |
150 | these rules (ensure to customize them to your needs): | |
151 | ||
152 | ``` | |
153 | # Update youtube-dl every day at midnight | |
154 | 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/npm rebuild youtube-dl --prefix /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/ | |
155 | ||
156 | # Synchronize the YT channel every sunday at 22:00 all the videos published since last monday included | |
157 | 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) | |
158 | ``` | |
159 | ||
160 | Also you may want to subscribe to the PeerTube channel in order to manually check the synchronization is successful. | |
161 | ||
162 | #### peertube-upload.js | |
163 | ||
164 | You can use this script to import videos directly from the CLI. | |
165 | ||
166 | Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface). | |
167 | ||
168 | ``` | |
169 | $ cd ${CLONE} | |
170 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-upload.js --help | |
171 | ``` | |
172 | ||
173 | #### peertube-watch.js | |
174 | ||
175 | You can use this script to play videos directly from the CLI. | |
176 | ||
177 | It provides support for different players: | |
178 | ||
179 | - ascii (default ; plays in ascii art in your terminal!) | |
180 | - mpv | |
181 | - mplayer | |
182 | - vlc | |
183 | - stdout | |
184 | - xbmc | |
185 | - airplay | |
186 | - chromecast | |
187 | ||
188 | ||
189 | #### peertube-plugins.js | |
190 | ||
191 | Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins: | |
192 | ||
193 | ``` | |
194 | $ cd ${CLONE} | |
195 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js --help | |
196 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js list --help | |
197 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --help | |
198 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js update --help | |
199 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js uninstall --help | |
200 | ||
201 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --path /my/plugin/path | |
202 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --npm-name peertube-theme-example | |
203 | ``` | |
204 | ||
205 | #### peertube-redundancy.js | |
206 | ||
207 | Manage (list/add/remove) video redundancies: | |
208 | ||
209 | To list your videos that are duplicated by remote instances: | |
210 | ||
211 | ``` | |
212 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-remote-redundancies | |
213 | ``` | |
214 | ||
215 | To list remote videos that your instance duplicated: | |
216 | ||
217 | ``` | |
218 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies | |
219 | ``` | |
220 | ||
221 | To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system: | |
222 | ||
223 | ``` | |
224 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823 | |
225 | ``` | |
226 | ||
227 | To remove a video redundancy: | |
228 | ||
229 | ``` | |
230 | $ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy remove --video 823 | |
231 | ``` | |
232 | ||
233 | ## Server tools | |
234 | ||
235 | These scripts should be run on the server, in `peertube-latest` directory. | |
236 | ||
237 | ### parse-log | |
238 | ||
239 | To parse PeerTube last log file: | |
240 | ||
241 | ``` | |
242 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level info | |
243 | ``` | |
244 | ||
245 | `--level` is optional and could be `info`/`warn`/`error` | |
246 | ||
247 | ### create-transcoding-job.js | |
248 | ||
249 | You can use this script to force transcoding of an existing video. PeerTube needs to be running. | |
250 | ||
251 | ``` | |
252 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] | |
253 | ``` | |
254 | ||
255 | Or to transcode to a specific resolution: | |
256 | ``` | |
257 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] -r [resolution] | |
258 | ``` | |
259 | ||
260 | To generate an HLS playlist for a video: | |
261 | ||
262 | ``` | |
263 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v [videoUUID] | |
264 | ``` | |
265 | ||
266 | ### create-import-video-file-job.js | |
267 | ||
268 | 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. | |
269 | ||
270 | ``` | |
271 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile] | |
272 | ``` | |
273 | ||
274 | ### prune-storage.js | |
275 | ||
276 | Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage. | |
277 | Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first): | |
278 | ||
279 | ``` | |
280 | $ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage | |
281 | ``` | |
282 | ||
283 | ### optimize-old-videos.js | |
284 | ||
285 | Before version v1.0.0-beta.16, Peertube did not specify a bitrate for the | |
286 | transcoding of uploaded videos. This means that videos might be encoded into | |
287 | very large files that are too large for streaming. This script re-transcodes | |
288 | these videos so that they can be watched properly, even on slow connections. | |
289 | ||
290 | ``` | |
291 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run optimize-old-videos | |
292 | ``` | |
293 | ||
294 | ||
295 | ### update-host.js | |
296 | ||
297 | If you started PeerTube with a domain, and then changed it you will have | |
298 | invalid torrent files and invalid URLs in your database. To fix this, you have | |
299 | to run: | |
300 | ||
301 | ``` | |
302 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host | |
303 | ``` | |
304 | ||
305 | ### reset-password.js | |
306 | ||
307 | To reset a user password from CLI, run: | |
308 | ||
309 | ``` | |
310 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username | |
311 | ``` | |
312 | ||
313 | ||
314 | ### plugin install/uninstall | |
315 | ||
316 | The difference with `peertube plugins` CLI is that these scripts can be used even if PeerTube is not running. | |
317 | 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). | |
318 | ||
319 | To install/update a plugin or a theme from the disk: | |
320 | ||
321 | ``` | |
322 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path | |
323 | ``` | |
324 | ||
325 | From NPM: | |
326 | ||
327 | ``` | |
328 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin | |
329 | ``` | |
330 | ||
331 | To uninstall a plugin or a theme: | |
332 | ||
333 | ``` | |
334 | $ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin | |
335 | ``` | |
336 | ||
337 | ### REPL ([Read Eval Print Loop](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v10.x/api/repl.html)) | |
338 | ||
339 | If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects even when PeerTube is not running, there is a REPL for that. | |
340 | ||
341 | usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/peertube-repl.js` | |
342 | ||
343 | "The default evaluator will, by default, assign the result of the most recently evaluated expression to the special variable `_` (underscore). Explicitly setting `_` to a value will disable this behavior." | |
344 | ||
345 | - type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot | |
346 | - type `.exit` to exit, note that you still have to press CTRL-C to actually exit, or press CTRL-C (3 times) without typing `.exit` to exit | |
347 | - type `context` to list all available objects and libraries in the context, note: `Promise` is also available but it's not listed in the context, in case you need promises for something | |
348 | - type `env` to see the loaded environment variables | |
349 | - type `path` to access path library | |
350 | - type `lodash` to access lodash library | |
351 | - type `uuidv1` to access uuid/v1 library | |
352 | - type `uuidv3` to access uuid/v3 library | |
353 | - type `uuidv4` to access uuid/v4 library | |
354 | - type `uuidv5` to access uuid/v5 library | |
355 | - type `YoutubeDL` to access youtube-dl library | |
356 | - type `cli` to access the cli helpers object | |
357 | - type `logger` to access the logger; if you log to it, it will write to stdout and to the peertube.log file | |
358 | - type `constants` to access the constants loaded by the server | |
359 | - type `coreUtils` to access the core-utils helpers object | |
360 | - type `ffmpegUtils` to access the ffmpeg-utils helpers object | |
361 | - type `peertubeCryptoUtils` to access the peertube-crypto helpers object | |
362 | - type `signupUtils` to access the signup helpers object | |
363 | - type `utils` to access the utils helpers object | |
364 | - type `YoutubeDLUtils` to access the youtube-dl helpers object | |
365 | - type `sequelizeTypescript` to access sequelizeTypescript | |
366 | - type `modelsUtils` to access the models/utils | |
367 | - type `models` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.models | |
368 | - type `transaction` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.transaction | |
369 | - type `query` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.query | |
370 | - type `queryInterface` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.queryInterface | |
