# PeerTube
[PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/) is a tool for sharing online videos developed by [Framasoft](https://framasoft.org/), a french non-profit.
## Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
- a [Postgres](postgres.md) database
- a [KeyDB](keydb.md) data-store, installation details [below](#keydb)
- a [Traefik](traefik.md) reverse-proxy server
## Configuration
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# peertube #
# #
########################################################################
peertube_enabled: true
peertube_hostname: peertube.example.com
# PeerTube does not support being hosted at a subpath right now,
# so using the peertube_path_prefix variable is not possible.
# A PeerTube secret.
# You can put any string here, but generating a strong one is preferred (e.g. `pwgen -s 64 1`).
peertube_config_secret: ''
# An email address to be associated with the `root` PeerTube administrator account.
peertube_config_admin_email: ''
# The initial password that the `root` PeerTube administrator account will be created with.
# You can put any string here, but generating a strong one is preferred (e.g. `pwgen -s 64 1`).
peertube_config_root_user_initial_password: ''
# Uncomment and adjust this after completing the initial installation.
# Find the `traefik` network's IP address range by running the following command on the server:
# `docker network inspect traefik -f "{{ (index .IPAM.Config 0).Subnet }}"`
# Then, replace the example IP range below, and re-run the playbook.
# peertube_trusted_proxies_values_custom: ["172.21.0.0/16"]
# KeyDB configuration, as described below
########################################################################
# #
# /peertube #
# #
########################################################################
```
In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at `https://peertube.example.com`.
Hosting PeerTube under a subpath (by configuring the `peertube_path_prefix` variable) does not seem to be possible right now, due to PeerTube limitations.
### KeyDB
As described on the [KeyDB](keydb.md) documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require KeyDB on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate KeyDB instance for each service. See [Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to PeerTube](#creating-a-keydb-instance-dedicated-to-peertube).
If you're only running PeerTube on this server and don't need to use KeyDB for anything else, you can [use a single KeyDB instance](#using-the-shared-keydb-instance-for-peertube).
#### Using the shared KeyDB instance for PeerTube
To install a single (non-dedicated) KeyDB instance (`mash-keydb`) and hook PeerTube to it, add the following **additional** configuration:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# keydb #
# #
########################################################################
keydb_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /keydb #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# peertube #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point PeerTube to the shared KeyDB instance
peertube_config_redis_hostname: "{{ keydb_identifier }}"
# Make sure the PeerTube service (mash-peertube.service) starts after the shared KeyDB service (mash-keydb.service)
peertube_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "{{ keydb_identifier }}.service"
# Make sure the PeerTube container is connected to the container network of the shared KeyDB service (mash-keydb)
peertube_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "{{ keydb_identifier }}"
########################################################################
# #
# /peertube #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-keydb` KeyDB instance on this host.
This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require KeyDB. Alternatively, go for [Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to PeerTube](#creating-a-keydb-instance-dedicated-to-peertube).
#### Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to PeerTube
The following instructions are based on the [Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host](../running-multiple-instances.md) documentation.
Adjust your `inventory/hosts` file as described in [Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts](../running-multiple-instances.md#re-do-your-inventory-to-add-supplementary-hosts), adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if `peertube.example.com` is your main one, create `peertube.example.com-deps`).
Then, create a new `vars.yml` file for the
`inventory/host_vars/peertube.example.com-deps/vars.yml`:
```yaml
---
########################################################################
# #
# Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
# Put a strong secret below, generated with `pwgen -s 64 1` or in another way
# Various other secrets will be derived from this secret automatically.
mash_playbook_generic_secret_key: ''
# Override service names and directory path prefixes
mash_playbook_service_identifier_prefix: 'mash-peertube-'
mash_playbook_service_base_directory_name_prefix: 'peertube-'
########################################################################
# #
# /Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# keydb #
# #
########################################################################
keydb_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /keydb #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-peertube-keydb` instance on this host with its data in `/mash/peertube-keydb`.
Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (`inventory/host_vars/peertube.example.com/vars.yml`) like this:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# peertube #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point PeerTube to its dedicated KeyDB instance
peertube_config_redis_hostname: mash-peertube-keydb
# Make sure the PeerTube service (mash-peertube.service) starts after its dedicated KeyDB service (mash-peertube-keydb.service)
peertube_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "mash-peertube-keydb.service"
# Make sure the PeerTube container is connected to the container network of its dedicated KeyDB service (mash-peertube-keydb)
peertube_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "mash-peertube-keydb"
########################################################################
# #
# /peertube #
# #
########################################################################
```
## Installation
If you've decided to install a dedicated KeyDB instance for PeerTube, make sure to first do [installation](../installing.md) for the supplementary inventory host (e.g. `peertube.example.com-deps`), before running installation for the main one (e.g. `peertube.example.com`).
## Usage
After [installation](../installing.md), you should be able to access your new PeerTube instance at the URL you've chosen (depending on `peertube_hostname` and `peertube_path_prefix` values set in `vars.yml`).
You should then be able to log in with:
- username: `root`
- password: the password you've set in `peertube_config_root_user_initial_password` in `vars.yml`
