+Federated (ActivityPub) video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) +directly in the web browser with WebTorrent. +

-Prototype of a decentralized video streaming platform using P2P (bittorrent) directly in the web browser with [webtorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent). +**PeerTube is sponsored by [Framasoft](https://framatube.org/#en), a non-profit +that promotes, spreads and develops free culture in general, and free-libre +software in particular. If you want to support this project, please [consider +donating them](https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en/).** -[![js-standard-style](https://cdn.rawgit.com/feross/standard/master/badge.svg)](https://github.com/feross/standard) +

-## Features +

+ Server -- [ ] Frontend - - [X] Simple frontend (All elements are generated by jQuery) - - [ ] AngularJS frontend -- [ ] Join a network - - [X] Generate a RSA key - - [X] Ask for the friend list of other pods and make friend with them - - [ ] Get the list of the videos owned by a pod when making friend with it - - [ ] Post the list of its own videos when making friend with another pod -- [X] Upload a video - - [X] Seed the video - - [X] Send the meta data to all other friends -- [X] Remove the video -- [X] List the videos -- [X] Search a video name (local index) -- [X] View the video in an HTML5 page with webtorrent -- [ ] Manage user accounts - - [ ] Inscription - - [ ] Connection - - [ ] Account rights (upload...) -- [ ] Make the network auto sufficient (eject bad pods etc) -- [ ] Manage API breaks -- [ ] Add "DDOS" security (check if a pod don't send too many requests for example) +

- $ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube - $ cd PeerTube - # npm install -g electron-prebuilt - $ npm install - $ npm start +## Demonstration -### Test with 3 fresh nodes +Want to see it in action? - $ scripts/clean_test.sh - $ scripts/run_servers.sh + * Demonstration servers: + * [peertube.cpy.re](http://peertube.cpy.re) + * [peertube2.cpy.re](http://peertube2.cpy.re) + * [peertube3.cpy.re](http://peertube3.cpy.re) + * [Video](https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/f78a97f8-a142-4ce1-a5bd-154bf9386504) + to see how the "decentralization feature" looks like -Then you will can access to the three nodes at http://localhost:900{1,2,3}. 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 :) +## Why +We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, +Vimeo... with a centralized software. 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. -## Architecture +## Features -See [ARCHITECTURE.md](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md) for a more detailed explication. +- [X] Angular frontend +- [X] Join the fediverse + - [X] Follow other instances + - [X] Unfollow an instance + - [X] Get for the followers/following list +- [X] Upload a video + - [X] Seed the video + - [X] Send the meta data with ActivityPub to followers +- [X] Remove the video +- [X] List the videos +- [X] View the video in an HTML5 player with WebTorrent +- [X] Admin panel +- [X] OpenGraph tags +- [X] OEmbed +- [X] Update video +- [X] Federated videos view counter +- [X] Federated videos likes/dislikes +- [X] Transcoding to different definitions +- [X] Download file/torrent +- [X] User video bytes quota +- [X] User video channels +- [X] NSFW warnings/settings +- [X] Video description in markdown +- [X] User roles (administrator, moderator) +- [X] User registration +- [X] Video privacy settings (public, unlisted or private) +- [X] Signaling a video to the admin origin PeerTube instance +- [X] Federated videos comments +- [ ] Video imports (URL, Torrent, YouTube...) +- [ ] Advanced search +- [ ] Subtitles +- [ ] User playlist +- [ ] User subscriptions (by tags, author...) +- [ ] Add "DDOS" security + + +## Front compatibility + + * Firefox + * Chrome/Chromium + +## Dependencies + + * nginx + * PostgreSQL + * **NodeJS >= 8.x** + * yarn + * OpenSSL (cli) + * FFmpeg -### Backend +## Production - * The backend whould be a REST API - * Servers would communicate with each others with it - * Each server of a network has a list of all other servers of the network - * When a new installed server wants to join a network, it just has to get the list of the servers via one server and tell them "Hi I'm new in the network, communicate with me too please" - * Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, where the torrent URI of this specific video is...) - * Server begins to seed and sends to the other servers of the network the video information (name, short description, torrent URI) of a new uploaded video - * Each server has a RSA key to encrypt and sign communications with other servers - * 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 where the video was uploaded - * A server would run webtorrent-hybrid to be a bridge with webrtc/standard bittorrent protocol - * A network can live and evolve by expelling bad pod (with too many downtimes for example) +See the [production guide](support/doc/production.md). -See the ARCHITECTURE.md for more informations.
