* You can directly test in your browser with this [demo server](http://peertube.cpy.re). Don't forget to use the latest version of Firefox/Chromium/(Opera?) and check your firewall configuration (for WebRTC)
* You can find [a video](https://vimeo.com/164881662 "Yes Vimeo, please don't judge me") to see how the "decentralization feature" looks like
+ * Experimental demo servers that share videos (they are in the same network): [peertube2](http://peertube2.cpy.re), [peertube3](http://peertube3.cpy.re). Since I do experiments with them, sometimes they might not work correctly.

## Installation
### Dependencies
- * **NodeJS >= 4.2**
- * **npm >= 3.0**
+ * **NodeJS >= 4.x**
+ * **npm >= 3.x**
* OpenSSL (cli)
- * MongoDB
- * ffmpeg xvfb-run libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin (for electron)
+ * PostgreSQL
+ * ffmpeg
#### Debian
- * Install NodeJS 4.2: [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)
+ * Install NodeJS 4.x (actual LTS): [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)
* Add jessie backports to your *source.list*: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
* Run:
# apt-get update
- # apt-get install ffmpeg mongodb openssl xvfb curl sudo git build-essential libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin
+ # apt-get install ffmpeg postgresql-9.4 openssl
# npm install -g npm@3
- # npm install -g electron-prebuilt
#### Other distribution... (PR welcome)
$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
$ cd PeerTube
- $ npm install
+ $ npm install # Or npm install --unsafe-perm for root user
$ npm run build
## Usage
-### Development
-
- $ npm run dev
-
-### Test with 3 fresh nodes
-
- $ npm run clean:server:test
- $ npm run play
-
-Then you will can access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}` with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password. If you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9002`, the pod 2 and 3 will become friends. Then if you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9001` it will become friend with the pod 2 and 3 (check the configuration files). Then the pod will communicate with each others. If you add a video on the pod 3 you'll can see it on the pod 1 and 2 :)
-
### Production
If you want to run PeerTube for production (bad idea for now :) ):
$ cp config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
-Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver configuration.
+Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver configuration. Keys set in this file will override those of `config/default.yml`.
Finally, run the server with the `production` `NODE_ENV` variable set.
**Systemd template**: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/tree/master/support/systemd
+You can check the application (CORS headers, tracker websocket...) by running:
+
+ $ NODE_ENV=production npm run check
+
+### Upgrade
+
+The following commands will upgrade the source (according to your current branch), upgrade node modules and rebuild client application:
+
+ # systemctl stop peertube
+ $ npm run upgrade
+ # systemctl start peertube
+
+### Development
+
+In this mode, the server will run requests between pods more quickly, the videos duration are limited to a few seconds and the client files are automatically compiled when we modify them:
+
+ $ npm run dev
+
+### Test with 3 fresh nodes
+
+ $ npm run clean:server:test
+ $ npm run play
+
+Then you will can access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}` with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password. If you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9002`, the pod 2 and 3 will become friends. Then if you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9001` it will become friend with the pod 2 and 3 (check the configuration files). Then the pod will communicate with each others. If you add a video on the pod 3 you'll can see it on the pod 1 and 2 :)

### Other commands
To print all available command run:
See the [server code documentation](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/server/code.md).
+See the [client code documentation](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/client/code.md).

## Architecture
* If a user upload a video, the server seeds it and sends the video informations (name, short description, torrent URI...) to each server of the network
* Each server has a RSA key to encrypt and sign communications with other servers
* A server is a tracker responsible for all the videos uploaded in it
- * Even if nobody watches a video, it is seeded by the server where the video was uploaded
+ * Even if nobody watches a video, it is seeded by the server (throught [WebSeed protocol](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html)) where the video was uploaded
* A network can live and evolve by expelling bad pod (with too many downtimes for example)
- * A server **would** run webtorrent-hybrid to be a bridge with webrtc/standard bittorrent protocol
See the ARCHITECTURE.md for more informations. Do not hesitate to give your opinion :)

### Frontend
There already is a frontend (Angular 2) but the backend is a REST API so anybody can build a frontend (Web application, desktop application...).
-The backend uses bittorrent protocol, so users could use their favorite bittorrent client to download/play the video with its torrent URI.
