Usage: peertube [command] [options]
The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now.
```bash
-$ peertube auth add -u "PEERTUBE_URL" -U "PEERTUBE_USER" --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD"
+$ peertube auth add -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD'
$ peertube auth list
┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│ instance │ login │
├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
-│ "PEERTUBE_URL" │ "PEERTUBE_USER" │
+│ 'PEERTUBE_URL' │ 'PEERTUBE_USER' │
└──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
```
```sh
$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
- -u "PEERTUBE_URL" \
- -U "PEERTUBE_USER" \
- --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD" \
- -t "TARGET_URL"
+ -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
+ -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
+ --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
+ -t '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 omitted, you will be prompted for it)
+* `PEERTUBE_PASSWORD` : password of your PeerTube account (if `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
### prune-storage.js
Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage.
-To delete them (a confirmation will be demanded first):
+Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first):
```
-$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
+$ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
```
