- [peertube3](http://peertube3.cpy.re). Since I do experiments with them,
- sometimes they might not work correctly.

+*Currently PeerTube is still in alpha (we plan to release a beta in march). Demonstration servers do not support public registration. If you really want to test PeerTube before the public release, here is a list of PeerTube servers: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/wiki#other-peertube-servers.*
## Why
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.

-
-```bash
- $ git clone -b master https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
- $ cd PeerTube
- $ yarn install
- $ npm run build
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-### Production
+## Run using Docker
-If you want to run PeerTube in production (which might be a bad idea for now :) ):
+See the [docker guide](/support/doc/docker.md)
-```bash
- $ cp config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
-```
+## Production
-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 `NODE_ENV` environment variable set to
-`production`:
-
-```bash
- $ NODE_ENV=production npm start
-```
-
-The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the
-logs. You can set another password with:
-
-```bash
- $ NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
-```
-
-**Nginx template** (reverse proxy): https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/tree/master/support/nginx <br />
-**Systemd template**: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/tree/master/support/systemd
-
-You can check the application (CORS headers, tracker websocket...) by running:
-
-```bash
- $ 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:
-
-```bash
- # systemctl stop peertube
- $ npm run upgrade-peertube
- # systemctl start peertube
-```
-
-### Test with three fresh nodes
-
-```bash
- $ npm run clean:server:test
- $ npm run play
-```
-
-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.
-
-### Other commands
-
-To print all available commands, run:
-
-```bash
- $ npm run help
-```
+See the [production guide](/support/doc/production.md).
