About​

PeerTube is an activityPub-federated video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser.

Customization​

Use the File manager to edit custom configuration under /app/data/production.yaml.

CLI​

The CLI can be accessed using the peertube-cli command. You can view the various commands in the PeerTube docs.

Uploading video​

Bash
peertube-cli up --file /tmp/video.wmv --url https://peertube.cloudron.club --username root --password changeme --video-name "sample video"
Uploading Sample video video...
Video Sample video uploaded.

Housekeeping​

Not all scripts are exposed via the peertube cli. The app comes with various extra housekeeping scripts which can be run via npm:

gosu cloudron:cloudron npm run prune-storage

To list all available commands run npm run. Run those with caution and ideally create a backup first, some are purging data.

Disable P2P​

If playback is slow, it might be a good idea to disable the P2P functionality. For this, use the file File manager to edit /app/data/production.yaml and set tracker to false.

production.yaml
tracker:
  # If you disable the tracker, you disable the P2P aspect of PeerTube
  enabled: false
