33## Remote Tools
34
35You need at least 512MB RAM to run the script.
36Scripts can be launched directly from a PeerTube server, or from a separate server, even a desktop PC.
37You 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
41Install the [PeerTube dependencies](dependencies.md) except PostgreSQL and Redis.
42
43### Installation
44
45Clone the PeerTube repo to get the latest version (even if you are on your PeerTube server):
46
47```bash
48$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git
49$ CLONE="$(pwd)/PeerTube"
50$ cd ${CLONE}
51```
52
53Install dependencies and build CLI tools:
54
55```bash
56$ NOCLIENT=1 yarn install --pure-lockfile
57$ npm run setup:cli
58```
59
60### CLI wrapper
61
62The wrapper provides a convenient interface to the following scripts.
63You 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):
64
65```
66 Usage: peertube [command] [options]
67
68 Options:
69
70 -v, --version output the version number
71 -h, --help output usage information
72
73 Commands:
74
75 auth [action] register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands
76 upload|up upload a video
77 import-videos|import import a video from a streaming platform
78 watch|w watch a video in the terminal ✩°。⋆
79 repl initiate a REPL to access internals
80 plugins|p [action] manage instance plugins
81 redundancy|r [action] manage video redundancies
82 help [cmd] display help for [cmd]
83```
84
85The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now.
86
87```bash
88$ peertube auth add -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD'
89$ peertube auth list
90┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
91│ instance │ login │
92├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
93│ 'PEERTUBE_URL' │ 'PEERTUBE_USER' │
94└──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
95```
96
97You can now use that account to upload videos without feeding the same parameters again.
98
99```bash
100$ peertube up <videoFile>
101```
102
103And 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):
104
105```bash
106$ peertube watch https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/e8a1af4e-414a-4d58-bfe6-2146eed06d10
107```
108
109To list, install, uninstall dynamically plugins/themes of an instance:
110
111```bash
112$ peertube plugins list
113$ peertube plugins install --path /local/plugin/path
114$ peertube plugins install --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
115$ peertube plugins uninstall --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
116```
117
118#### peertube-import-videos.js
119
120You can use this script to import videos from all [supported sites of youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) into PeerTube.
121Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so.
122
123```sh
124$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
125 -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
126 -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
127 --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
128 --target-url 'TARGET_URL'
129```
130
131* `PEERTUBE_URL` : the full URL of your PeerTube server where you want to import, eg: https://peertube.cpy.re
132* `PEERTUBE_USER` : your PeerTube account where videos will be uploaded
133* `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `--password PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` is omitted, you will be prompted for it)
134* `TARGET_URL` : the target url you want to import. Examples:
135 * YouTube:
136 * Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChannelId
137 * User https://www.youtube.com/c/UserName or https://www.youtube.com/user/UserName
138 * Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blabla
139 * Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/xxxxxx
140 * Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/xxxxx
141
142The script will get all public videos from Youtube, download them and upload to PeerTube.
143Already downloaded videos will not be uploaded twice, so you can run and re-run the script in case of crash, disconnection...
144
145Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
146
147**NB**: If you want to synchronize a Youtube channel to your PeerTube instance (ensure you have the agreement from the author),
148you can add a [crontab rule](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto) (or an equivalent of your OS) and insert
149these rules (ensure to customize them to your needs):
150
151```
152# Update youtube-dl every day at midnight
1530 0 * * * /usr/bin/npm rebuild youtube-dl --prefix /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/
154
155# Synchronize the YT channel every sunday at 22:00 all the videos published since last monday included
1560 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 $(date --date="-6 days" +%Y-%m-%d)
157```
158
159Also you may want to subscribe to the PeerTube channel in order to manually check the synchronization is successful.
160
161#### peertube-upload.js
162
163You can use this script to import videos directly from the CLI.
164
165Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
166
167```bash
168$ cd ${CLONE}
169$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-upload.js --help
170```
171
172#### peertube-watch.js
173
174You can use this script to play videos directly from the CLI.
175
176It provides support for different players:
177
178- ascii (default ; plays in ascii art in your terminal!)
179- mpv
180- mplayer
181- vlc
182- stdout
183- xbmc
184- airplay
185- chromecast
186
187
188#### peertube-plugins.js
189
190Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins:
191
192```bash
193$ cd ${CLONE}
194$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js --help
195$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js list --help
196$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --help
197$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js update --help
198$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js uninstall --help
199
200$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --path /my/plugin/path
201$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --npm-name peertube-theme-example
202```
203
204#### peertube-redundancy.js
205
206Manage (list/add/remove) video redundancies:
207
208To list your videos that are duplicated by remote instances:
209
210```bash
211$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-remote-redundancies
212```
213
214To list remote videos that your instance duplicated:
215
216```bash
217$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies
218```
219
220To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
221
222```bash
223$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823
224```
225
226To remove a video redundancy:
227
228```bash
229$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy remove --video 823
230```
231
232## Server tools
233
234These scripts should be run on the server, in `peertube-latest` directory.
235
236### parse-log
237
238To parse PeerTube last log file:
239
240```bash
241$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
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
247You can also remove SQL or HTTP logs using `--not-tags`:
248
249```
250$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
251$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
252```
253
254### create-transcoding-job.js
255
256You can use this script to force transcoding of an existing video. PeerTube needs to be running.
257
258To generate transcoding jobs depending on the instance configuration:
259```bash
260$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
261$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID]
262```
263
264Or to transcode to a specific resolution:
265```bash
266$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
267$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] -r [resolution]
268```
269The resolution should be an integer (`1080`, `720`, `480`, etc.)
270
271To generate an HLS playlist for a video:
272
273```bash
274$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
275$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v [videoUUID]
276```
277
278### create-import-video-file-job.js
279
280You 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.
281
282```bash
283$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
284$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
285```
286
287### prune-storage.js
288
289Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage.
290Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first):
291
292```bash
293$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
294$ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
295```
296
297### optimize-old-videos.js
298
299Before version v1.0.0-beta.16, Peertube did not specify a bitrate for the
300transcoding of uploaded videos. This means that videos might be encoded into
301very large files that are too large for streaming. This script re-transcodes
302these videos so that they can be watched properly, even on slow connections.
303
304```bash
305$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
306$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run optimize-old-videos
307```
308
309
310### update-host.js
311
312**Changing the hostname is unsupported and may be a risky operation, especially if you have already federated.**
313If you started PeerTube with a domain, and then changed it you will have
314invalid torrent files and invalid URLs in your database. To fix this, you have
315to run the command below (keep in mind your follower instances will NOT update their URLs).
316
317```bash
318$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
319$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host
320```
321
322### reset-password.js
323
324To reset a user password from CLI, run:
325
326```bash
327$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
328$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
329```
330
331
332### plugin install/uninstall
333
334The difference with `peertube plugins` CLI is that these scripts can be used even if PeerTube is not running.
335If 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).
336
337To install/update a plugin or a theme from the disk:
338
339```bash
340$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
341$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
342```
343
344From NPM:
345
346```bash
347$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
348$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
349```
350
351To uninstall a plugin or a theme:
352
353```bash
354$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
355$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
356```
357
358### REPL (Read Eval Print Loop)
359
360If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects even when PeerTube is not running, there is a REPL for that.
361
362usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/peertube-repl.js`
363
364"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."
365
366- type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot
367- 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
368- 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
369- type `env` to see the loaded environment variables
370- type `path` to access path library
371- type `lodash` to access lodash library
372- type `uuidv1` to access uuid/v1 library
373- type `uuidv3` to access uuid/v3 library
374- type `uuidv4` to access uuid/v4 library
375- type `uuidv5` to access uuid/v5 library
376- type `YoutubeDL` to access youtube-dl library
377- type `cli` to access the cli helpers object
378- type `logger` to access the logger; if you log to it, it will write to stdout and to the peertube.log file
379- type `constants` to access the constants loaded by the server
380- type `coreUtils` to access the core-utils helpers object
381- type `ffmpegUtils` to access the ffmpeg-utils helpers object
382- type `peertubeCryptoUtils` to access the peertube-crypto helpers object
383- type `signupUtils` to access the signup helpers object
384- type `utils` to access the utils helpers object
385- type `YoutubeDLUtils` to access the youtube-dl helpers object
386- type `sequelizeTypescript` to access sequelizeTypescript
387- type `modelsUtils` to access the models/utils
388- type `models` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.models
389- type `transaction` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.transaction
390- type `query` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.query
391- type `queryInterface` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.queryInterface
