## Disclaimers / important information
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### IMPORTANT POINT TO READ BEFORE INSTALLING
|
|
* Require **dedicated domain** like **peertube.domain.tld**.
|
|
* Admin username is: **root**.
|
|
* **Admin password and LDAP configuration** will be sent to the email address given at the time of the installation.
|
|
* URL can not be changed once selected. Choose the domain wisely.
|
|
* You need more then **1 GB** 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
|
|
|
|
* This app is **multi-instance** (you can have more then one PeerTube instance running on a YunoHost server)
|
|
* **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)**
|
|
* HTTP auth is not supported
|
|
* Do not modify the `/var/www/<app>/conf/production.yaml` file, because it will be overridden in the next upgrade. Please instead either change them though the web interface or create a `/var/www/<app>/conf/local.yaml` file, assign it the same owner, group and rights than for `conf/production.yaml` and fill there your specific settings.
|
|
* Note: when the same option have different values in `production.yaml` and `local.yaml` files, only the value in `local.yaml` is taken into account.
