## Installation
-Please don't install PeerTube for production on a small device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: a Raspberry PI behind your ADSL link) because it could slow down the fediverse. See the [FAQ](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube) for more information.
+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
```
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
-$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod
+$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube -E UTF8 -T template0 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
$ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
```
-*If you're using CentOS7, do not forget to activate the devtoolset-6 software collection.
-And after that, follow the step as usual. Do not forget to exit the environment after installing Peertube:*
-```
-$ scl enable devtool-6 bash
-```
-
Install Peertube:
```
$ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
```
+Then set the domain for the webserver configuration file.
+Replace `[peertube-domain]` with the domain for the peertube server.
+
+```
+$ sudo sed -i 's/peertube.example.com/[peertube-domain]/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
+```
+
Then modify the webserver configuration file. Please pay attention to the `alias` keys of the static locations.
It should correspond to the paths of your storage directories (set in the configuration file inside the `storage` key).
$ sudo pkg install dehydrated
```
+### TCP/IP Tuning
+
+**On Linux**
+
+```
+$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf /etc/sysctl.d/
+$ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-peertube-tcp.conf
+```
+
+Your distro may enable this by default, but at least Debian 9 does not, and the default FIFO
+scheduler is quite prone to "Buffer Bloat" and extreme latency when dealing with slower client
+links as we often encounter in a video server.
+
### systemd
If your OS uses systemd, copy the configuration template:
$ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
```
-### FreeBSD
-
-If you're using FreeBSD, copy the startup script and update rc.conf:
+**FreeBSD**
+On 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
+$ sudo install -m 0555 /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/freebsd/peertube /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
+$ sudo sysrc peertube_enable="YES"
```
Run:
$ sudo service peertube start
```
+### OpenRC
+
+If your OS uses OpenRC, copy the service script:
+
+```
+$ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/init.d/peertube /etc/init.d/
+```
+
+If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
+
+```
+$ sudo rc-update add peertube default
+```
+
+Run and print last logs:
+
+```
+$ sudo /etc/init.d/peertube start
+$ tail -f /var/log/peertube/peertube.log
+```
+
### 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
```
+Alternatively you can set the environment variable `PT_INITIAL_ROOT_PASSWORD`,
+to your own administrator password, although it must be 6 characters or more.
+
### What now?
Now your instance is up you can:
* Subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin
* Add you instance to the public PeerTube instances index if you want to: https://instances.peertu.be/
+ * Check [available CLI tools](/support/doc/tools.md)
