This means they have to be installed from separate, external repos:</p> - - <pre><code>curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash - -apt install -y nodejs -npm install --global yarn</code></pre> - - <p>Now we create a PeerTube user to run and handle PeerTube with the proper permissions:</p> - - <pre><code>useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube</code></pre> - - <h2>Database</h2> - - <p>PeerTube requires a PostgreSQL database to function. To create it, first make a new Postgres user named PeerTube:</p> - - <pre><code>su -l postgres -createuser -P peertube -createdb -O peertube -E UTF8 -T template0 peertube_prod -psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_prod -psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_prod -exit</code></pre> - - <p>Be sure to <strong>make note of your Postgres user password,</strong> as it will be needed later when setting up PeerTube.</p> - - <h2>Installation</h2> - - <p>Using <code>su -l</code>, we will become the PeerTube user to create the required directories and download and install PeerTube itself with the proper permissions. - First, we create the required directories.</p> - - <pre><code>su -l peertube -mkdir config storage versions -chmod 750 config</code></pre> - - <h3>Downloading PeerTube</h3> - <p>Still as the PeerTube user, we can now check for the most recent PeerTube versions number, download and install it in the newly created <code>versiond</code> directory.</p> - <pre class=wide><code>VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/chocobozzz/peertube/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) -cd /var/www/peertube/versions -wget "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip" -unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip -rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip</code></pre> - - <h3>Installation via Yarn</h3> - -<p>The downloaded release can then be symbolically linked to <code>/var/www/peertube/peertube-latest</code> and <strong>yarn</strong> is used to install PeerTube:</p> - -<pre><code>cd /var/www/peertube -ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest -cd ./peertube-latest -yarn install --production --pure-lockfile</code></pre> - - <h2>Configuration</h2> - - <p>PeerTube's default config file can be copied over to <code>/var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml</code> so it can actually be used:</p> - - <p>Note that we are still running these as the PeerTube user (having run <code>su -l peertube</code>).</p> - - <pre><code>cd /var/www/peertube -cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml</code></pre> - - <p>Now the <code>production.yaml</code> file must be edited in the following ways:</p> - - <p>First, add the hostname:</p> - - <pre><code>webserver: - https: true - hostname: <strong>'example.org'</strong> - port: 443</code></pre> - - <p>Then, the database:</p> - - <pre><code>database: - hostname: 'localhost' - port: 5432 - ssl: false - suffix: '_prod' - username: <strong>'peertube'</strong> - password: <strong>'your_password'</strong> - pool: - max: 5</code></pre> - - <p>An email to generate the admin user:</p> - - <pre><code>admin: - # Used to generate the root user at first startup - # And to receive emails from the contact form - email: <strong>'chad@example.org'</strong></code></pre> - - <p>And <strong>optionally,</strong> email server information:</p> - - <pre><code>smtp: - # smtp or sendmail - transport: smtp - # Path to sendmail command. Required if you use sendmail transport - sendmail: null - hostname: <strong>mail.example.org</strong> - port: 465 # If you use StartTLS: 587 - username: <strong>your_email_username</strong> - password: <strong>your_email_password</strong> - tls: true # If you use StartTLS: false - disable_starttls: false - ca_file: null # Used for self signed certificates - from_address: <strong>'admin@example.org'</strong></code></pre> - - <p>At this point, we have done all we need to do as the PeerTube user. Run <code>exit</code> or press <code>Ctrl-d</code> to log out and return to the root prompt where we will configure Nginx and other system settings.</p> - - <h2>Certbot</h2> - - <p>First, we will want a Certbot SSL certificate to encrypt connections to our PeerTube instance. - Just run the following:</p> - - <pre><code>certbot --nginx -d <strong>peertube.example.org</strong> certonly</code></pre> - - <h2>Nginx</h2> - - <p>PeerTube includes an Nginx configuration that can be copied over to <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available:</code> - - <pre><code>cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube</code></pre> - - <p>Because the PeerTube config is so long, it's recommended to use <code>sed</code> to modify the contents of the file, - replacing <code>${WEBSERVER_HOST}</code> with your hostname, - and <code>$(PEERTUBE_HOST)</code> with your localhost and port, which by default should be <code>127.0.0.1:9000</code>: - - <pre><code>sed -i 's/${WEBSERVER_HOST}/<strong>example.org</strong>/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube -sed -i 's/${PEERTUBE_HOST}/127.0.0.1:9000/g' /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube</code></pre> - - <p>Once you're happy with the Nginx config file, link it to <code>sites-enabled</code> to activate it:</p> - - <pre><code>ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube</code></pre> - - <h2>Running PeerTube</h2> - - <p>A config file for a systemd daemon is included in PeerTube and can be setup and started like so:</p> - - <pre><code>cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/ -systemctl daemon-reload -systemctl start peertube</pre></code> - - <p> - PeerTube will take a momemnt to start, but after it does, you can check its status with <code>systemctl status peertube</code> and at this point, your PeerTube site should be live! - </p> - - <h2>Using PeerTube</h2> - - <p>To set a password for your admin user, run:</p> - - <pre><code>cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest -NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root</code></pre> - - <p>Login to your PeerTube instance using the admin email specified in your <code>production.yaml</code> file and the admin password you just set.</p> - - <img src="pix/peertube-login.jpg" height=400px> - - <p>Once logged in, it's recommended to create a separate user without admin privileges for uploading videos to PeerTube. - This can be done easily from the users tab in the administration section.</p> - - <p>Enjoy your PeerTube instance!</p> - - <hr> - - <h2>Updating PeerTube</h2> - - <p>PeerTube is constantly adding new features, so it's a good idea to <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md">check for new updates</a> and add them if you wish. Just in the past year, they have added livestreaming and more.</p> - - <p>Updating is fairly easy now since an <code>upgrade.sh</code> script has been added. Just run:</p> - - <pre><code>cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/scripts && sudo -H -u peertube ./upgrade.sh</code></pre> - - <p> - Although check the <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md">changelog</a> to see if there are additional manual requirements for particular updates. - </p> - - <hr> - <p><em>Written by <a href="https://denshi.org">Denshi.</a> Donate Monero <a href="https://denshi.org/donate.html">here</a> <a href="https://denshi.org/images/monero.jpg">[QR]</a></em></p> - </main> - <footer><a href="https://landchad.net">LandChad.net</a></br>Because Everyone should be an Internet LandChad.</br><a href="index.html"><li><img src="pix/chad.gif" alt="chad"></li></a><a href="rss.xml"><li><img src="pix/rss.svg" alt="RSS"></li></a><a href="donate-bitcoin.html"><li><img src="pix/btc.svg" alt="BTC"></li></a><a href="donate-monero.html"><li><img src="pix/xmr.svg" alt="XMR"></li></a><a href="https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/landchad"><li><img src="pix/git.svg" alt="Github"></li></a></footer> -</body> -</html> |
