   6 ## Installation
   7
   8 **Please don't install PeerTube for production on a small device behind a low bandwidth connection because it could slow down the fediverse.**
   9
  10 ### Dependencies
  11
  12 Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
  13
  14 ### PeerTube user
  15
  16 Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home:
  17
  18 ```
  19 $ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
  20 ```
  21
  22 Set its password:
  23 ```
  24 $ sudo passwd peertube
  25 ```
  26
  27 ### Database
  28
  29 Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
  30
  31 ```
  32 $ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
  33 $ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod
  34 ```
  35
  36 ### Prepare PeerTube directory
  37
  38 Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube
  39 ```
  40 $ 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"
  41 ```
  42
  43 Open the peertube directory, create a few required directories
  44 ```
  45 $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions && cd versions
  46 ```
  47
  48 Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip
  49 ```
  50 $ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip"
  51 $ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
  52 ```
  53
  54 Install Peertube
  55 ```
  56 $ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
  57 $ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
  58 ```
  59
  60 ### PeerTube configuration
  61
  62 Copy example configuration:
  63
  64 ```
  65 $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
  66 ```
  67
  68 Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver
  69 configuration.
  70
  71 ### Webserver
  72
  73 Copy the nginx configuration template:
  74
  75 ```
  76 $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
  77 ```
  78
  79 Then modify the webserver configuration file. Please pay attention to the `alias` keys of the static locations.
  80 It should correspond to the paths of your storage directories (set in the configuration file inside the `storage` key).
  81
  82 ```
  83 $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
  84 ```
  85
  86 If you want to set https with Let's Encrypt please follow the steps of [this guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04).
  87
  88 An example of the nginx configuration could be:
  89
  90 ```
  91 server {
  92   listen 80;
  93   listen [::]:80;
  94   server_name peertube.example.com;
  95
  96   access_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.access.log;
  97   error_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.error.log;
  98
  99   rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
 100 }
 101
 102 server {
 103   listen 443 ssl http2;
 104   listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
 105   server_name peertube.example.com;
 106
 107   # For example with Let's Encrypt
 108   ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.example.com/fullchain.pem;

 183 ```
 184
 185
 186 Activate the configuration file:
 187
 188 ```
 189 $ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
 190 $ sudo systemctl reload nginx
 191 ```
 192
 193 ### Systemd
 194
 195 Copy the nginx configuration template:
 196
 197 ```
 198 $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
 199 ```
 200
 201 Update the service file:
 202
 203 ```
 204 $ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
 205 ```
 206
 207 It should look like this:
 208
 209 ```
 210 [Unit]
 211 Description=PeerTube daemon
 212 After=network.target
 213
 214 [Service]
 215 Type=simple
 216 Environment=NODE_ENV=production
 217 Environment=NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config
 218 User=peertube
 219 Group=peertube
 220 ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
 221 WorkingDirectory=/var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
 222 StandardOutput=syslog
 223 StandardError=syslog
 224 SyslogIdentifier=peertube
 225 Restart=always
 226
 227 [Install]
 228 WantedBy=multi-user.target
 229 ```
 230
 231
 232 Tell systemd to reload its config:
 233
 234 ```
 235 $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 236 ```
 237
 238 If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
 239
 240 ```
 241 $ sudo systemctl enable peertube
 242 ```
 243
 244 ### Run
 245
 246 ```
 247 $ sudo systemctl start peertube
 248 $ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
 249 ```
 250
 251 ### Administrator
 252
 253 The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the
 254 logs. You can set another password with:
 255
 256 ```
 257 $ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
 258 ```
 259
 260 ## Upgrade
 261 #### Auto
 262
 263 Via the bash Script :
 264
 265 ```
 266 $ su - peertube
 267 $ cd scripts && ./upgrade.sh
 268 $ exit
 269 $ systemctl restart peertube
 270 $ systemctl status peertube
 271 ```
 272
 273 #### Manuel
 274 Make a SQL backup
 275
 276 ```
 277 $ SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-$(date -Im).bak" && \
 278     cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir -p backup && \
 279     sudo pg_dump -U peertube -W -h localhost -F c peertube_prod -f "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
 280 ```
 281
 282 Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube:
 283
 284 ```
 285 $ 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"
 286 ```
 287
 288 Download the new version and unzip it:
 289
 290 ```
 291 $ cd /var/www/peertube/versions && \
 292     sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip" && \
 293     sudo -u peertube unzip -o peertube-${VERSION}.zip && \
 294     sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
 295 ```
 296
 297 Install node dependencies:
 298
 299 ```
 300 $ cd /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION} && \
 301     sudo -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
 302 ```
 303
 304 Copy new configuration defaults values and update your configuration file:
 305
 306 ```
 307 $ sudo -u peertube cp /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/default.yaml /var/www/peertube/config/default.yaml
 308 $ diff /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config//production.yaml.example /var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml
 309 ```
 310
 311 Change the link to point to the latest version:
 312
 313 ```
 314 $ cd /var/www/peertube && \
 315     sudo rm ./peertube-latest && \
 316     sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
 317 ```
 318
 319
 320 Restart PeerTube:
 321 ```
 322 $ sudo systemctl restart peertube
 323 ```
 324
 325 ### Things went wrong?
 326
 327 Change `peertube-latest` destination to the previous version and restore your SQL backup:
 328
 329 ```
 330 $ OLD_VERSION="v0.42.42" && SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-2018-01-19T10:18+01:00.bak" && \
 331     cd /var/www/peertube && rm ./peertube-latest && \
 332     sudo -u peertube ln -s "versions/peertube-$OLD_VERSION" peertube-latest && \
 333     pg_restore -U peertube -W -h localhost -c -d peertube_prod "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
 334     sudo systemctl restart peertube
 335 ```
