[the steps](/support/doc/dependencies.md)
to install the dependencies.
1) Install [parallel](https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/) to be able to run tests.
-1) Fork the Github repository.
+1) Fork the GitHub repository.
1) Run the following commands.
```
-$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
-$ cd PeerTube
-$ git remote add me git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/PeerTube.git
-$ yarn install --pure-lockfile
+git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
+cd PeerTube
+git remote add me git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/PeerTube.git
+yarn install --pure-lockfile
```
Note that development is done on the `develop` branch. If you want to hack on
-Peertube, you should switch to that branch. Also note that you have to repeat
+PeerTube, you should switch to that branch. Also note that you have to repeat
the `yarn install --pure-lockfile` command.
When you create a new branch you should also tell to use your repo for upload
not default one. To do just do:
```
-$ git push --set-upstream me <your branch name>
+git push --set-upstream me <your branch name>
```
Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the
Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
```
-$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_dev
-$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_dev
+sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_dev
+sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_dev
```
+PeerTube also requires a running redis server, no special setup is needed for
+this.
+
In dev mode, administrator username is **root** and password is **test**.
### Online development
### Server side
-You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture [here](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/contribute-architecture?id=server-code).
-
To develop on the server-side:
```
-$ npm run dev:server
+npm run dev:server
```
Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files
change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically
restart.
-### Client side
-
-You can find a documentation of the client code/architecture
-[here](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/contribute-architecture?id=client-code).
+More detailed documentation is available:
+ * [Server code/architecture](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/architecture#server)
+ * [Server development (adding a new feature...)](/support/doc/development/server.md)
+### Client side
To develop on the client side:
```
-$ npm run dev:client
+npm run dev:client
```
The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`.
Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will
reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement.
+More detailed documentation is available:
+ * [Client code/architecture](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/architecture#client)
+
+
### Client and server side
The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`.
and the web server is automatically restarted.
```
-$ npm run dev
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### Embed
+
+The embed is a standalone application built using Webpack.
+The generated files (HTML entrypoint and multiple JS and CSS files) are served by the PeerTube server (behind `localhost:9000/videos/embed/:videoUUID` or `localhost:9000/video-playlists/embed/:playlistUUID`).
+The following command will compile embed files and run the PeerTube server:
+
+```
+npm run dev:embed
```
### RTL layout
-To test RTL layout using `ar` locale:
+To test RTL (right-to-left) layout using `ar` locale:
```
-$ npm run dev -- --ar-locale
+npm run dev -- --ar-locale
```
### Testing
+#### Unit/integration tests
+
Your code contributions must pass the tests before they can be merged. Tests ensure most of the application behaves
as expected and respect the syntax conventions. They will run upon PR submission as part of our CI, but running them beforehand yourself will get you faster feedback and save CI runner time for others.
-PeerTube mainly features backend and plugin tests, found in `server/tests`.
+See the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/tests.md) to run tests locally.
-#### Unit tests
+#### Play with a federation of PeerTube servers
Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user.
-
Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist):
```
-$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb --superuser
-$ npm run clean:server:test
+sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb --superuser
+createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3}
```
-Build the application and run the unit/integration tests:
+Build the application and flush the old tests data:
```
-$ npm run build -- --light
-$ npm test
+npm run build
+npm run clean:server:test
```
-If you just want to run 1 test (which is what you want to debug a specific test rapidly):
+To run 3 nodes:
```
-$ TS_NODE_FILES=true npm run mocha -- --exit -r ts-node/register -r tsconfig-paths/register --bail server/tests/api/videos/single-server.ts
+NODE_APP_INSTANCE=1 NODE_ENV=test npm start
+NODE_APP_INSTANCE=2 NODE_ENV=test npm start
+NODE_APP_INSTANCE=3 NODE_ENV=test npm start
```
-While testing, you might want to display a server's logs:
+Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://127.0.0.1:900{1,2,3}`
+with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password.
-```
-NODE_APP_INSTANCE=1 NODE_ENV=test npm run parse-log -- --level debug | less +GF
-```
+Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3}.yaml`.
-Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3,4,5,6}.yaml`.
-Note that only instance 2 has transcoding enabled.
+### Emails
-#### Testing the federation of PeerTube servers
+To test emails with PeerTube:
-Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user.
-Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist):
+ * Run [mailslurper](http://mailslurper.com/)
+ * Run PeerTube using mailslurper SMTP port: `NODE_CONFIG='{ "smtp": { "hostname": "localhost", "port": 2500, "tls": false } }' NODE_ENV=dev node dist/server`
-```
-$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb
-$ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3}
-```
+### OpenAPI documentation
-Build the application and flush the old tests data:
+The [REST API documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html) is generated from `support/doc/api/openapi.yaml` file.
+To quickly get a preview of your changes, you can generate the documentation *on the fly* using the following command:
```
-$ npm run build
-$ npm run clean:server:test
+npx @redocly/cli preview-docs ./support/doc/api/openapi.yaml
```
-To run 3 nodes:
+### Environment variables
-```
-$ NODE_APP_INSTANCE=1 NODE_ENV=test npm start
-$ NODE_APP_INSTANCE=2 NODE_ENV=test npm start
-$ NODE_APP_INSTANCE=3 NODE_ENV=test npm start
-```
+PeerTube can be configured using environment variables.
+See the list on https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/configuration#environment-variables
-Then you will get 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.
+Additionally to these ones, we provide some environment for dev/test purpose:
-Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3}.yaml`.
+ * `PRODUCTION_CONSTANTS=true`: in `NODE_ENV=dev` or `NODE_ENV=test` PeerTube customizes some constants. To prevent this behaviour, you can set `PRODUCTION_CONSTANTS` env to
+ `true`
+ * `PEERTUBE_LOCAL_CONFIG`: directory to find the local configuration file (used by web admin)
+ * `NODE_DB_LOG=false`: disable SQL request logging
-### Emails
+### Generate/pull translations
-To test emails with PeerTube:
+See the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/localization.md) to update PeerTube translations from Weblate or to support a new locale.
- * Run [mailslurper](http://mailslurper.com/)
- * Run PeerTube using mailslurper SMTP port: `NODE_CONFIG='{ "smtp": { "hostname": "localhost", "port": 2500, "tls": false } }' NODE_ENV=test npm start`
+### Release PeerTube
+
+See the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/release.md) to release a new version of PeerTube.
+
+### PeerTube packages
+
+This repository also contains other packages/libraries than PeerTube (embed API, PeerTube types...).
+You can see the list on the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/lib.md).
+
+### CI
+
+PeerTube uses GitHub actions to run tests every time a commit is pushed or a PR is opened.
+You can find more information about these tasks on the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/ci.md).
+
+### Monitoring
+
+You can check the content of the client bundle or benchmark the REST API.
+To do so, see the [dedicated documentation](/support/doc/development/monitoring.md).
+
+### Test live stream
+
+To easily test a live stream on PeerTube:
+ * Enable live support in web admin configuration
+ * Create a permanent live on the PeerTube instance
+ * Get the **RTMP URL** and the **Live stream key**
+ * Send the live stream to PeerTube using `ffmpeg` using a local video:
+
+```
+ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i any-video.mp4 -c copy -f flv rtmp://{RTMP URL}/live/{STREAM KEY}
+```
