```
### CLI wrapper
auth [action] register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands
upload|up upload a video
import-videos|import import a video from a streaming platform
- watch|w watch a video in the terminal ✩°｡⋆
- repl initiate a REPL to access internals
+ plugins|p [action] manage instance plugins
+ redundancy|r [action] manage video redundancies
help [cmd] display help for [cmd]
```
$ peertube up <videoFile>
```
-And now that your video is online, you can watch it from the confort of your terminal (use `peertube watch --help` to see the supported players):
+To list, install, uninstall dynamically plugins/themes of an instance:
```bash
-$ peertube watch https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/e8a1af4e-414a-4d58-bfe6-2146eed06d10
+$ peertube plugins list
+$ peertube plugins install --path /local/plugin/path
+$ peertube plugins install --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
+$ peertube plugins uninstall --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
```
#### 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
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
```
-#### peertube-watch.js
+#### peertube-plugins.js
+
+Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins:
+
+```bash
+$ cd ${CLONE}
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js --help
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js list --help
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --help
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js update --help
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js uninstall --help
+
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-plugins.js install --path /my/plugin/path
+$ 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:
-You can use this script to play videos directly from the CLI.
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy list-my-redundancies
+```
-It provides support for different players:
+To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
+
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy add --video 823
+```
-- ascii (default ; plays in ascii art in your terminal!)
-- mpv
-- mplayer
-- vlc
-- stdout
-- xbmc
-- airplay
-- chromecast
+To remove a video redundancy:
+```bash
+$ node dist/server/tools/peertube.js redundancy remove --video 823
+```
## Server tools
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]
```
-
-### 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.
+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 webtorrent resolution to a video. PeerTube needs to be running.
+You can then create a transcoding job using `npm run create-transcoding-job` if you need to optimize your file or create an HLS version of it.
+
+```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
+### create-move-video-storage-job.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):
+**PeerTube >= 4.0**
-```
-$ sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
+Use this script to move all video files or a specific video file to object storage.
+
+```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-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage -v [videoUUID]
+
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage -v [videoUUID]
```
-### optimize-old-videos.js
+The script can also move all video files that are not already in object storage:
-Before version v1.0.0-beta.16, Peertube did not specify a bitrate for the
-transcoding of uploaded videos. This means that videos might be encoded into
-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 create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage --all-videos
+$ # Docker installation
+$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
+$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage --all-videos
```
-$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run optimize-old-videos
+
+
+### 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
```
### 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
```
-### REPL ([Read Eval Print Loop](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/repl.html))
-
-If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects even when PeerTube is not running, there is a REPL for that.
-
-usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/peertube-repl.js`
-
-"The default evaluator will, by default, assign the result of the most recently evaluated expression to the special variable `_` (underscore). Explicitly setting `_` to a value will disable this behavior."
-
-- type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot
-- type `.exit` to exit, note that you still have to press CTRL-C to actually exit, or press CTRL-C (3 times) without typing `.exit` to exit
-- type `context` to list all available objects and libraries in the context, note: `Promise` is also available but it's not listed in the context, in case you need promises for something
-- type `env` to see the loaded environment variables
-- type `path` to access path library
-- type `lodash` to access lodash library
-- type `uuidv1` to access uuid/v1 library
-- type `uuidv3` to access uuid/v3 library
-- type `uuidv4` to access uuid/v4 library
-- type `uuidv5` to access uuid/v5 library
-- type `YoutubeDL` to access youtube-dl library
-- type `cli` to access the cli helpers object
-- type `logger` to access the logger; if you log to it, it will write to stdout and to the peertube.log file
-- type `constants` to access the constants loaded by the server
-- type `coreUtils` to access the core-utils helpers object
-- type `ffmpegUtils` to access the ffmpeg-utils helpers object
-- type `peertubeCryptoUtils` to access the peertube-crypto helpers object
-- type `signupUtils` to access the signup helpers object
-- type `utils` to access the utils helpers object
-- type `YoutubeDLUtils` to access the youtube-dl helpers object
-- type `sequelizeTypescript` to access sequelizeTypescript
-- type `modelsUtils` to access the models/utils
-- type `models` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.models
-- type `transaction` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.transaction
-- type `query` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.query
