## Installation
-**Please don't install PeerTube for production on a small device behind a low bandwidth connection because it could slow down the fediverse.**
+Please don't install PeerTube for production on a device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: your ADSL link).
+If you want information about the appropriate hardware to run PeerTube, please see the [FAQ](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube).
### Dependencies
-Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
+**Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).**
### PeerTube user
$ sudo passwd peertube
```
+**On FreeBSD**
+
+```
+$ sudo pw useradd -n peertube -d /var/www/peertube -s /usr/local/bin/bash -m
+$ sudo passwd peertube
+```
+or use `adduser` to create it interactively.
+
### Database
Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod
```
+Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
+
+```
+$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod
+$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod
+```
+
### Prepare PeerTube directory
Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube
$ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
```
-Install Peertube
+Install Peertube:
```
$ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
$ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver
configuration.
+**PeerTube does not support webserver host change**. Keep in mind your domain name is definitive after your first PeerTube start.
+
### Webserver
We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
```
$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
+$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Comment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
$ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
+$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Uncomment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
+$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal.
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
-### Systemd
+**FreeBSD**
+On FreeBSD you can use [Dehydrated](https://dehydrated.io/) `security/dehydrated` for [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
+
+```
+$ sudo pkg install dehydrated
+```
-Copy the SystemD configuration template:
+### systemd

+If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template:
```
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl enable peertube
```
-### Run
+Run:
```
$ sudo systemctl start peertube
$ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
```
+### FreeBSD
+
+If you're using FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
+
+```
+$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
+$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/peertube
+$ sudo echo peertube_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```
+$ sudo service peertube start
+```
+
### Administrator
The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
```
+### What now?
+
+Now your instance is up you can:
+
+ * Subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin
