# Dependencies Follow the below guides, and check their versions match [required external dependencies versions](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/package.json#7). You can check them automatically via `sudo npx engineslist`. - [Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives](#debian--ubuntu-and-derivatives) - [Arch Linux](#arch-linux) - [CentOS 7](#centos-7) - [CentOS 8](#centos-8) - [Fedora](#fedora) - [FreeBSD](#freebsd) - [macOS](#macos) - [Gentoo](#gentoo) - [Other distributions](#other-distributions) ## Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives 1. On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu, as root user, install basic utility programs needed for the installation ``` # apt-get install curl sudo unzip vim ``` 2. It would be wise to disable root access and to continue this tutorial with a user with sudoers group access 3. Install NodeJS 10.x: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions) 4. Install yarn, and be sure to have [a recent version](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/latest): [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab) 5. Run: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install certbot nginx ffmpeg postgresql postgresql-contrib openssl g++ make redis-server git python-dev ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.1 g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x ``` Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should start PostgreSQL and Redis: ``` sudo systemctl start redis postgresql ``` ## Arch Linux 1. Run: ``` sudo pacman -S nodejs-lts-dubnium yarn ffmpeg postgresql openssl redis git wget unzip python2 base-devel npm nginx ``` Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should start PostgreSQL and Redis: ``` sudo systemctl start redis postgresql ``` ## CentOS 7 1. Install NodeJS 10.x: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora) 2. Install yarn: [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) 3. Install or compile ffmpeg: * Install - [https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/install-ffmpeg-centos-7/](https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/install-ffmpeg-centos-7/) * Compile - [https://gist.github.com/mustafaturan/7053900#file-latest-ffmpeg-centos6-sh](https://gist.github.com/mustafaturan/7053900#file-latest-ffmpeg-centos6-sh) 4. Install Packages: ``` sudo yum update sudo yum install epel-release centos-release-scl sudo yum update sudo yum install nginx postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make wget redis git devtoolset-7 ``` 5. You need to use a more up to date version of G++ in order to run the yarn install command, hence the installation of devtoolset-7. ``` sudo scl enable devtoolset-7 bash ``` Later when you invoke any node command, please prefix them with `CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/g++`, such as with: ``` sudo -H -u peertube CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/g++ yarn install --production --pure-lockfile ``` 6. Initialize the PostgreSQL database: ``` sudo postgresql-setup initdb ``` Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should enable and start PostgreSQL and Redis: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now redis sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql ``` ## Centos 8 1. Install NodeJS 10.x: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora) 2. Install yarn: [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) 3. Install or compile ffmpeg: * Install - [https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-centos-8/](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-centos-8/) 4. Install packages: ``` sudo dnf update sudo dnf install epel-release sudo dnf update sudo dnf install nginx postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make wget redis git ``` 5. You'll need a symlink for python3 to python for youtube-dl to work ``` sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python ``` 6. Initialize the PostgreSQL database: ``` sudo postgresql-setup initdb ``` Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should enable and start PostgreSQL and Redis: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now redis sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql ``` ## Fedora 1. Upgrade your packages: ``` dnf upgrade ``` 2. Add a user with sudoers group access: ``` useradd my-peertube-user passwd my-peertube-user usermod my-peertube-user -a -G wheel # Add my-peertube-user to sudoers su my-peertube-user ``` 3. (Optional) Install certbot (choose instructions for your distribution): [https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions](https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions) 4. Install NodeJS 10.x: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora) 5. Install yarn: [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) 6. Enable [RPM Fusion](https://rpmfusion.org) for Fedora (available for x86, x86_64, armhfp) ``` sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm ``` This is necessary because `ffmpeg` is not in the Fedora repos. 7. Run: ``` sudo dnf install nginx ffmpeg postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make redis git ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.1 g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x ``` 8. Post-installation _from [PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/):_ > Due to policies for Red Hat family distributions, the PostgreSQL installation will not be enabled for automatic start or have the database initialized automatically. ``` # PostgreSQL sudo postgresql-setup initdb sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service sudo systemctl start postgresql.service # Nginx sudo systemctl enable nginx.service sudo systemctl start nginx.service # Redis sudo systemctl enable redis.service sudo systemctl start redis.service ``` 9. Firewall By default, you cannot access your server via public IP. To do so, you must configure firewall: ``` # Ports used by peertube dev setup sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3000/tcp sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp # Optional sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https # Reload firewall sudo firewall-cmd --reload ``` 10. Configure max ports This is necessary if you are running dev setup, otherwise you will have errors with `nodemon` ``` echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p ``` [More info](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34662574/node-js-getting-error-nodemon-internal-watch-failed-watch-enospc#34664097) ## FreeBSD On a fresh install of [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org), new system or new jail: 1. bootstrap pkg, initialize db and install peertube's dependencies, always as root (sudo not yet installed): ``` pkg pkg update pkg install -y sudo bash wget git python nginx pkgconf vips postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib redis openssl node npm yarn ffmpeg unzip ``` 2. Allow users in the wheel group (hope you don't forgot to add your user on wheel group!) to use sudo. ``` # visudo ``` Uncomment the line 90 ``` %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL ``` 3. Enable nginx, redis, postgresql services and initialize database. ``` sysrc postgresql_enable="YES" sysrc redis_enable="YES" sysrc nginx_enable="YES" ``` Initialize database and start services ``` service postgresql initdb service postgresql start service redis start service nginx start ``` ## macOS 1. Add the packages: ``` brew install ffmpeg nginx postgresql openssl gcc make redis git yarn ``` 2. Run the services: ``` brew services run postgresql brew services run redis ``` ## Gentoo 1. Add this to ``/etc/portage/sets/peertube``: ``` net-libs/nodejs sys-apps/yarn media-video/ffmpeg[x264] # Optionnally add vorbis,vpx dev-db/postgresql dev-db/redis dev-vcs/git app-arch/unzip dev-lang/python:2.7 www-servers/nginx # Optional, client for Let’s Encrypt: # app-crypt/certbot ``` 2. If you are on a "stable" Gentoo you need to accept the testing keyword ~amd64 yarn: ``` mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.keywords cat << EOF >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/peertube # required by yarn (argument) for PeerTube sys-apps/yarn ~amd64 EOF ``` 3. Compile the peertube set: ``` emerge -a @peertube ``` 4. Initialize the PostgreSQL database if you just merged it: ``` emerge --config postgresql ``` 5. (For OpenRC) Enable and then start the services (replace with the correct PostgreSQL slot): ``` rc-update add redis rc-update add postgresql-11 rc-service redis start rc-service postgresql-11 start ``` ## Other distributions Feel free to update this file in a pull request!
