|
||
## 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:** 1.3.0

|
||
|
||
### Guidelines
|
||
|
||
1. Require **dedicated domain** like **peertube.domain.tld**.
|
||
1. **No LDAP** support (blocked until PeerTube core upstream implements it)
|
||
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**.

|
||
$ 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 installing on an ovh virtual machine or having `gyp ERR! configure error` please follow the steps indicated in [Chocobozzz/PeerTube#830 (comment)](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/830#issuecomment-425942717)
