# 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`.
+:warning: **Warning**: dependencies guide is maintained by the community. Some parts may be outdated! :warning:
+
+Main dependencies version supported by PeerTube:
+
+ * `node` >=14.x
+ * `yarn` >=1.x
+ * `postgres` >=10.x
+ * `redis-server` >=6.x
+ * `ffmpeg` >=4.3
+
_note_: only **LTS** versions of external dependencies are supported. If no LTS version matching the version constraint is available, only **release** versions are supported.

+9. 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 PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS='--auth-host=md5' postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
# Nginx
sudo systemctl start redis.service
```
-9. Firewall
+10. 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
+```
+
+11. 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)
+
+## Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
+
+1. Register system as root user to Red Hat Subscription Management (create a free Red Hat account if you don't have one yet).
+
+```
+# subscription-manager register --username <username> --password <password> --auto-attach
+# dnf upgrade
+# reboot
+```
+
+2. Install Node.JS
+
+```
+sudo dnf module install nodejs:16
+```
+
+3. Install Yarn
+
+```
+curl --silent --location https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
+sudo dnf install yarn
+```
+
+4. Install FFmpeg
+
+```
+sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"
+sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
+sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm
+sudo dnf upgrade
+sudo dnf install ffmpeg
+```
+
+5. Run:
+
+```
+sudo dnf install nginx postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib openssl gcc-c++ make wget redis git
+```
+
+6. You'll need a symlink for python3 to python for youtube-dl to work
+
+```
+sudo alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python
+```
+
+7. Initialize the PostgreSQL database:
+
+```
+sudo PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS='--auth-host=md5' postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql
+```
+
+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
+```
+
+If you are running the production guide, you also need to slightly pre-configure nginx, because nginx is packaged differently in the Red Hat family distributions:
+
+8. Configure nginx
+
+```
+sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available
+sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube /etc/nginx/conf.d/peertube.conf
+sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
+```
+
+9. Prepare directory
+
+To add the 'peertube' user, you first have to create the 'www' folder and once the 'peertube' user is added, you have to set the access permissions.
+
+```
+sudo mkdir /var/www
+
+sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
+sudo passwd peertube
+
+sudo chmod 755 /var/www/peertube/
+```
+
+10. Firewall
By default, you cannot access your server via public IP. To do so, you must configure firewall:
+- Ports used by peertube dev setup:
```
-# 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
+```
+- Optional
+
+```
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
-# Reload firewall
+```
+
+- Reload firewall
+
+```
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
```
-10. Configure max ports
+11. Configure max ports

## FreeBSD
On a fresh install of [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org), new system or new jail:
```
pkg
pkg update
-pkg install -y sudo bash wget git python nginx pkgconf postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib redis openssl node npm yarn ffmpeg unzip
+pkg install -y sudo bash wget git python nginx pkgconf postgresql13-server postgresql13-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.
1. Add the packages:
+```sh
+brew install bash ffmpeg nginx postgresql openssl gcc make redis git yarn
```
-brew install ffmpeg nginx postgresql openssl gcc make redis git yarn
+
+You may need to update your default version of bash.
+
+**How to change your default shell**
+
+```sh
+which -a bash # Check where bash is installed
+bash --version # You need a version at least as recent as 4.0
+sudo vim /etc/shells # Add in this file : /usr/local/bin/bash
+chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash # To set the brew-installed bash as default bash
```
+In a new shell, type `bash --version` to assert your changes took effect and
+correctly modified your default bash version.
+
2. Run the services:
-```
+```sh
brew services run postgresql
brew services run redis
```
+On macOS, the `postgresql` user can be `_postgres` instead of `postgres`.
+If `sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube` gives you an `unknown user: postgres` error, you can try `sudo -u _postgres createuser -U peertube`.
+
## Gentoo
1. Add this to ``/etc/portage/sets/peertube``:
```
net-libs/nodejs
sys-apps/yarn
-media-video/ffmpeg[x264] # Optionnally add vorbis,vpx
+media-video/ffmpeg[x264] # Optionally add vorbis,vpx
dev-db/postgresql
dev-db/redis
dev-vcs/git
app-arch/unzip
-dev-lang/python:2.7
+dev-lang/python
+dev-lang/python-exec
www-servers/nginx
# Optional, client for Let’s Encrypt:
rc-service postgresql-11 start
```
+6. Create Python version symlink for youtube-dl:
+
+```
+emerge -1 python-exec
+```
+
## OpenBSD
1. Install Packages:
projects / github / Chocobozzz / PeerTube.git / blobdiff
