One organization alone may not have +enough money to pay for bandwidth and video storage of its servers. + +So we need to have a decentralized network of servers seeding videos (as +[Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example). But it's not +enough because one video could become famous and overload the server. It's the +reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load. Thanks to +[WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus +BitTorrent) inside the web browser, as of today. + +## Dependencies + + * nginx + * PostgreSQL + * Redis + * **NodeJS >= 8.x** + * yarn * OpenSSL (cli) - * MongoDB - * xvfb-run libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin (for electron) + * **FFmpeg >= 3.x** -#### Debian +## Run using Docker -Install NodeJS 4.2: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions) +See the [docker guide](/support/doc/docker.md) - # apt-get install mongodb openssl xvfb curl sudo git build-essential libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin - # npm install -g electron-prebuilt +## Production +See the [production guide](/support/doc/production.md). -### Test It! +## Contributing/Test - $ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube - $ cd PeerTube - # npm install -g electron-prebuilt - $ npm install - $ npm run build - $ npm start +See the [contributing +guide](/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) +to see how to test or contribute to PeerTube.

If you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9002`, the pod 2 and 3 will become friends. Then if you call "make friends" on `http://localhost:9001` it will become friend with the pod 2 and 3 (check the configuration files). Then the pod will communicate with each others. If you add a video on the pod 3 you'll can see it on the pod 1 and 2 :) + * HTML version: [/support/doc/api/html/index.html](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/api/html/index.html) + * Swagger/OpenAPI schema: [/support/doc/api/openapi.yaml](/support/doc/api/openapi.yaml) -### Dockerfile +## Tools -You can test it inside Docker with the [PeerTube-Docker repository](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube-Docker).

Do not hesitate to give your opinion :) + * The backend is a REST API. + * Servers communicate with each others with [Activity + Pub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/). + * Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, query where the + torrent URI of this specific video is...). + * If a user uploads a video, the server seeds it and sends its followers some + metadata (name, short description, torrent URI...). + * A server is a tracker responsible for all the videos uploaded in it. + * Even if nobody watches a video, it is seeded by the server (through + [WebSeed protocol](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html)) where the + video was uploaded.
