#### peertube-import-videos.js
-You can use this script to import videos from all [supported sites of youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) into PeerTube.
+You can use this script to import videos from all [supported sites of youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) into PeerTube.
Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so.
```sh
-u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
-U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
--password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
- -t 'TARGET_URL'
+ --target-url 'TARGET_URL'
```
* `PEERTUBE_URL` : the full URL of your PeerTube server where you want to import, eg: https://peertube.cpy.re
* `PEERTUBE_USER` : your PeerTube account where videos will be uploaded
-* `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` is omitted, you will be prompted for it)
+* `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `--password PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` is omitted, you will be prompted for it)
* `TARGET_URL` : the target url you want to import. Examples:
* YouTube:
* Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChannelId
Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
+**NB**: If you want to synchronize a Youtube channel to your PeerTube instance (ensure you have the agreement from the author),
+you can add a [crontab rule](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto) (or an equivalent of your OS) and insert
+these rules (ensure to customize them to your needs):
+
+```
+# Update youtube-dl every day at midnight
+0 0 * * * /usr/bin/npm rebuild youtube-dl --prefix /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/
+
+# Synchronize the YT channel every sunday at 22:00 all the videos published since last monday included
+0 22 * * 0 /usr/bin/node /PATH/TO/PEERTUBE/dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js -u '__PEERTUBE_URL__' -U '__USER__' --password '__PASSWORD__' --target-url 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/___CHANNEL__' --since $(date --date="-6 days" +%Y-%m-%d)
+```
+
+Also you may want to subscribe to the PeerTube channel in order to manually check the synchronization is successful.
#### peertube-upload.js
Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
-```
+```bash
$ cd ${CLONE}
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-upload.js --help
```
- chromecast
+#### peertube-plugins.js
+

+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --npm-name peertube-theme-example
+```
+
+#### peertube-redundancy.js
+
+Manage (list/add/remove) video redundancies:
+
+To list your videos that are duplicated by remote instances:
+
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-remote-redundancies
+```
+
+To list remote videos that your instance duplicated:
+
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies
+```
+
+To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
+
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823
+```
+
+To remove a video redundancy:
+
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy remove --video 823
+```
+
## Server tools
These scripts should be run on the server, in `peertube-latest` directory.
To parse PeerTube last log file:
-```
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level info
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level info
```
`--level` is optional and could be `info`/`warn`/`error`
+You can also remove SQL or HTTP logs using `--not-tags` (PeerTube >= 3.2):
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
+```
+
+### regenerate-thumbnails.js
+
+**PeerTube >= 3.2**
+
+Regenerating local video thumbnails could be useful because new PeerTube releases may increase thumbnail sizes:
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run regenerate-thumbnails
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run regenerate-thumbnails
+```
+
### create-transcoding-job.js
You can use this script to force transcoding of an existing video. PeerTube needs to be running.
-```
+To generate transcoding jobs depending on the instance configuration:
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID]
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID]
```
Or to transcode to a specific resolution:
-```
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] -r [resolution]
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v [videoUUID] -r [resolution]
+```
+
+The resolution should be an integer (`1080`, `720`, `480`, etc.)
+
+To generate an HLS playlist for a video:
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v [videoUUID]
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v [videoUUID]
```
-
+
### create-import-video-file-job.js
You can use this script to import a video file to replace an already uploaded file or to add a new resolution to a video. PeerTube needs to be running.
-```
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
```
### prune-storage.js
Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage.
Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first):
-```
+```bash
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
```
very large files that are too large for streaming. This script re-transcodes
these videos so that they can be watched properly, even on slow connections.
-```
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run optimize-old-videos
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run optimize-old-videos
```
### update-host.js
+**Changing the hostname is unsupported and may be a risky operation, especially if you have already federated.**
If you started PeerTube with a domain, and then changed it you will have
invalid torrent files and invalid URLs in your database. To fix this, you have
-to run:
+to run the command below (keep in mind your follower instances will NOT update their URLs).
-```
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run update-host
+```
+
+### reset-password.js
+
+To reset a user password from CLI, run:
+
+```bash
+$ # Basic installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
+```
+
+
+### plugin install/uninstall
+
+The difference with `peertube plugins` CLI is that these scripts can be used even if PeerTube is not running.
+If PeerTube is running, you need to restart it for the changes to take effect (whereas with `peertube plugins` CLI, plugins/themes are dynamically loaded on the server).
+
+To install/update a plugin or a theme from the disk:
+
+```bash
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
+```
+
+From NPM:
+
+```bash
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
+```
+
+To uninstall a plugin or a theme:
+
+```bash
+$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
+$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
```
