-## Why
-
-We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enought money to pay bandwith and video storage of its server.
+<p align="center">
+ <strong>Server</strong>
-So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example).
-But it's not enought because one video could become famous and overload the server.
-It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
-Thanks to [WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus bittorrent) inside the web browser right now.

-## Usage
-
-### Run the server
-
- $ npm start
+## Why
-### Test with 3 fresh nodes
+We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion,
+Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone may not have
+enough money to pay for bandwidth and video storage of its servers.
- $ npm run clean:server:test
- $ npm run play
+So we need to have a decentralized network of servers seeding videos (as
+[Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example). But it's not
+enough because one video could become famous and overload the server. It's the
+reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load. Thanks to
+[WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus
+BitTorrent) inside the web browser, as of today.
-Then you will can access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}`. 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 :)

-You can test it inside Docker with the [PeerTube-Docker repository](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube-Docker). Moreover it can help you to check how to create an environment with the required dependencies for PeerTube on a GNU/Linux distribution.
+See the [contributing
+guide](/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md)

+coder to help!

-See [ARCHITECTURE.md](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md) for a more detailed explication.
+See [ARCHITECTURE.md](/ARCHITECTURE.md) for a more detailed explanation.
### Backend
- * The backend whould be a REST API
- * Servers would communicate with each others with it
- * Each server of a network has a list of all other servers of the network
- * When a new installed server wants to join a network, it just has to get the list of the servers via one server and tell them "Hi I'm new in the network, communicate with me too please"
- * Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, where the torrent URI of this specific video is...)
- * Server begins to seed and sends to the other servers of the network the video information (name, short description, torrent URI) of a new uploaded video
- * 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
- * A server would run webtorrent-hybrid to be a bridge with webrtc/standard bittorrent protocol
- * A network can live and evolve by expelling bad pod (with too many downtimes for example)
-
-See the ARCHITECTURE.md for more informations. Do not hesitate to give your opinion :)
+ * The backend is a REST API.
+ * Servers communicate with each others with [Activity
+ Pub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/).
+ * Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, query where the
+ torrent URI of this specific video is...).
+ * If a user uploads a video, the server seeds it and sends its followers some
+ metadata (name, short description, torrent URI...).
+ * 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 (through
+ [WebSeed protocol](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html)) where the
+ video was uploaded.
Here are some simple schemes:

-### Frontend
+<img src="https://lutim.cpy.re/pqKm3Q5S.png" alt="Watch a P2P video" />
-There would be a simple frontend (Bootstrap, AngularJS) but since the backend is a REST API anybody could 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 after having its torrent URI.
