## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Guidelines
|
|
|
|
1. Require dedicated domain like **peertube.domain.tld**.
|
|
1. No LDAP support (blocked until upstream implements it)
|
|
1. URL can not be changed once selected.
|
|
1. Take notice that this YunoHost package *claims* the following features:
|
|
- [x] Install
|
|
- [x] Remove
|
|
- [X] Upgrade
|

### Install
|
|
|
|
1. **App can be installed by YunoHost admin interface or by the following command:**
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh
|
|
1. **root** is the admin username.
|
|
1. **root Password** will be sent to the email address given at the time of the installation.
|
|
1. **TLS** and **starttls** are disabled for the outgoing mails. If you intent to use email address not hosted on your local server,it's advised to have a proper SMTP configured with tls and starttls settings by editing **/var/www/peertube/config/porduction.yml**.
|
|
|
|
### Updation
|
|
1. **App can be updated by YunoHost admin interface or by the following command:**
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yunohost app upgrade -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh peertube
|
|
1. App will backup the **home directory** for Peertube before updating which can take a lot of space on the system. It's advised to check the home folder's free space by
|
|
|
|
$ df -h "/home" | awk 'NR==2 { print $4 }'
|
|
and comapre it with space occupied by the Peertube home directory before updating.
|
|
|
|
$ du -hcs /home/yunohost.app/peertube | awk 'NR==2 { print $1 }'
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enough money to pay bandwidth and video storage of its server.
|
|
|
|
So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Hubzilla](https://project.hubzilla.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project) ([Hubzilla YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/hubzilla_ynh)), [Friendica](http://friendi.ca/) ([Friendica YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh)), [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon) ([Mastodon YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh)), [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) ([Diaspora YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/diaspora_ynh)),[Funkwhale](https://funkwhale.audio) ([Funkwhale YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/funkwhale_ynh))).
|
|
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 right now.
