Dependencies

Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives

  1. On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu, as root user, install basic utility programs needed for the installation
# apt-get install curl sudo unzip vim
  1. It would be wise to disable root access and to continue this tutorial with a user with sudoers group access

  2. Install certbot (choose instructions for nginx and your distribution) : https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions

  3. Install NodeJS 8.x (current LTS): https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

  4. Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab

  5. Run:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nginx ffmpeg postgresql openssl g++ make redis-server git
$ ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 3.x
$ g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x

If you still have a 2.x version of FFmpeg on Ubuntu:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install ffmpeg

Arch Linux

  1. Run:
$ sudo pacman -S nodejs yarn ffmpeg postgresql openssl redis git wget unzip python2 base-devel npm nginx

CentOS 7

  1. Install NodeJS 8.x (current LTS): https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora
  2. Install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install
  3. Install or compile ffmpeg:
  4. Run:
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install epel-release centos-release-scl
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install nginx postgresql postgresql-server openssl gcc-c++ make redis git devtoolset-6
  1. You need to use a more up to date version of G++ in order to run the yarn install command, hence the installation of devtoolset-6.
$ sudo scl devtoolset-6 bash

FreeBSD

On a fresh install of FreeBSD, new system or new jail:

  1. edit /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf to use latest instead quaterly (installation was tested with the latest repository), as root:
# ee /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
 change this line (11):
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quaterly",
 to:
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  1. bootsrap pkg, initialize db and install peertube's dependencies, always as root (sudo not yet installed):
# pkg
# pkg update
# pkg install -y sudo bash wget git python nginx pkgconf vips postgresql96-server redis openssl node npm yarn ffmpeg unzip
  1. Allow users in the wheel group (hope you don't forgot to add your user on wheel group!) to use sudo
# visudo
 Uncomment the line 90
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
  1. Enable nginx, redis, postgresql services and initialize database
# ee /etc/rc.conf
 Add the following lines
postgresql_enable="YES"
redis_enable="YES"
nginx_enable="YES"
 Initialize database and start services
# service postgresql initdb
# service postgresql start
# service redis start
# service nginx start
