|
||
> *This package allows you to install PeerTube quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.
|
||
If you don't have YunoHost, please consult [the guide](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to learn how to install it.*
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
### What is PeerTube ?
|
||
PeerTube is a federated (ActivityPub) video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) directly in the web browser, using <a href="https://github.com/feross/webtorrent">WebTorrent</a>.
|
||
|
||
### Why PeerTube ?
|
||
|
||
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 of servers seeding videos (as [Hubzilla YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/hubzilla_ynh), [Friendica YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh),[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, as of today.
|
||
|
||
### Why is that cool ?
|
||
Servers are run independently by different people and organizations. They can apply wildly different moderation policies, so you can find or make one that fits your taste perfectly.
|
||
|
||
By watching a video, you help the hosting provider to broadcast it by becoming a broadcaster of the video yourself. Each instance doesn’t need much money to broadcast the videos of its users.
|
||
|
||
**Shipped version:** 2.3.0
|
||
|
||
## Important points to read before installing
|
||
|
||

|
||
1. Admin username is : **root**.
|
||
1. **Admin password** will be sent to the email address given at the time of the installation.
|
||
1. URL can not be changed once selected. Choose the domain wisely.
|
||
1. You need more then **1GB** of ram. If you don't have it, please create a **swap memory**.
|
||
|
||
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
|
||
$ mkswap /swapfile
|
||
$ swapon /swapfile
|
||
$ echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
|
||
1. This app is **multi-instance** (you can have more then one PeerTube instance running on a YunoHost server)
|
||
1. **If you are hosted on OVH virtual machine or experiencing `gyp ERR! configure error`, please switch to [ovh_fix](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh/tree/ovh_fix)**
