How to Install PeerTube on Fedora CoreOS

PeerTube is a free, decentralized, and open-source video platform that allows users to upload and share videos in a peer-to-peer network. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and set up PeerTube on a Fedora CoreOS latest version.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the tutorial, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A VPS or dedicated server running the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
• Sudo access to install packages and run commands.

Step 1: System Update

First, we need to update the system packages to ensure that we are using the latest version of the software. Run the following command to update the system:

sudo rpm-ostree update

Step 2: Install Docker

To run PeerTube, we need to have Docker installed on our system. Run the following command to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS latest version:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

Step 3: Set up Docker

Now that Docker is installed, we need to configure it to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Next, start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

By default, Docker runs with the root user. To run Docker as a non-root user, we can add docker group to the current user using the following command:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Step 4: Clone PeerTube Repository

We need to clone the PeerTube repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git

After cloning the repository, change the directory to PeerTube:

cd PeerTube

Step 5: Install Dependencies

PeerTube requires some dependencies to run correctly. We will use NPM to install them. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

npm install

Step 6: Configuration

We need to configure PeerTube to work with our system. You can find the configuration files in the config/ directory. Copy the example configuration file and make the necessary changes:

cp config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml

Next, we need to edit the production.yaml file to configure the database and SMTP settings.

nano config/production.yaml

Step 7: Build Images with Docker Compose

PeerTube uses Docker Compose to build the images. Run the following command to build the images:

sudo docker-compose build

Step 8: Start the Containers

After building the images, we can start the containers using the following command:

sudo docker-compose up

Once the containers are up and running, you can access the PeerTube web interface by visiting localhost:9000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have installed PeerTube on your Fedora CoreOS latest version. You can now upload and share videos in a decentralized, open-source network.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
