This guide requires docker and docker-compose V2.
docker compose version # Must be > 2.x.x
PeerTube does not support webserver host change. Keep in mind your domain name is definitive after your first PeerTube start.
:::info
The guide that follows assumes an empty workdir, but you can also clone the repository, use the master branch and cd support/docker/production
.
:::
cd /your/peertube/directory
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/docker/production/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
View the source of the file you're about to download: docker-compose.yml
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/docker/production/.env > .env
View the source of the file you're about to download: .env
sudo nano docker-compose.yml
sudo nano .env
In the downloaded example .env, you must replace:
<MY POSTGRES USERNAME>
<MY POSTGRES PASSWORD>
<MY DOMAIN>
without 'https://'<MY EMAIL ADDRESS>
<MY PEERTUBE SECRET>
Other environment variables are used in /support/docker/production/config/custom-environment-variables.yaml and can be intuited from usage.
::: info The docker compose file includes a configured web server. You can skip this part and comment the appropriate section in the docker compose if you use another webserver/proxy. :::
Install the template that the nginx container will use.
The container will generate the configuration by replacing ${WEBSERVER_HOST}
and ${PEERTUBE_HOST}
using your docker compose env file.
mkdir -p docker-volume/nginx
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/nginx/peertube > docker-volume/nginx/peertube
You need to manually generate the first SSL/TLS certificate using Let's Encrypt:
mkdir -p docker-volume/certbot
docker run -it --rm --name certbot -p 80:80 -v "$(pwd)/docker-volume/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt" certbot/certbot certonly --standalone
A dedicated container in the docker-compose will automatically renew this certificate and reload nginx.
note: Newer versions of compose are called with docker compose
instead of docker-compose
, so remove the dash in all steps that use this command if you are getting errors.
Run your containers:
docker compose up
You can change the automatically created password for user root by running this command from peertube's root directory:
docker compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u root
You can also grep your peertube container's logs for the default root
password. You're going to want to run docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root
to search the log output for your new PeerTube's instance admin credentials which will look something like this.
docker compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root
peertube_1 | [example.com:443] 2019-11-16 04:26:06.082 info: Username: root
peertube_1 | [example.com:443] 2019-11-16 04:26:06.083 info: User password: abcdefghijklmnop
DKIM signature sending and RSA keys generation are enabled by the default Postfix image mwader/postfix-relay
with OpenDKIM.
Run cat ./docker-volume/opendkim/keys/*/*.txt
to display your DKIM DNS TXT Record containing the public key to configure to your domain :
cat ./docker-volume/opendkim/keys/*/*.txt
peertube._domainkey.mydomain.tld. IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; "
"p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA0Dx7wLGPFVaxVQ4TGym/eF89aQ8oMxS9v5BCc26Hij91t2Ci8Fl12DHNVqZoIPGm+9tTIoDVDFEFrlPhMOZl8i4jU9pcFjjaIISaV2+qTa8uV1j3MyByogG8pu4o5Ill7zaySYFsYB++cHJ9pjbFSC42dddCYMfuVgrBsLNrvEi3dLDMjJF5l92Uu8YeswFe26PuHX3Avr261n"

::: warning Check the changelog (in particular the IMPORTANT NOTES section): https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md :::
Pull the latest images:
cd /your/peertube/directory
docker compose pull
Stop, delete the containers and internal volumes (to invalidate static client files shared by peertube
and webserver
containers):
docker compose down -v
Update the nginx configuration:
mv docker-volume/nginx/peertube docker-volume/nginx/peertube.bak
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/master/support/nginx/peertube > docker-volume/nginx/peertube
Rerun PeerTube:
docker compose up -d
git clone https://github.com/chocobozzz/PeerTube /tmp/peertube
cd /tmp/peertube
docker build . -f ./support/docker/production/Dockerfile.bookworm
We don't have a Docker image for development. See the CONTRIBUTING guide for more information on how you can hack PeerTube!
