# PeerTube

PeerTube is a federated, self-hosted video platform. Videos are served using WebTorrent to reduce bandwidth load on the server.

## Dependencies

- **PostgreSQL** - Database for storing video metadata and accounts
- **Redis** - Used for caching and job queuing
- **SMTP** - For account verification and notifications

## Configuration

Key settings in `config.yaml`:

- **domain** - Where PeerTube will be accessible
- **storage** - Persistent volume size for video files (default: `5Gi`)
- **db.name** - Database name (default: `peertube`)
- **smtp** - Email settings inherited from your Wild Cloud SMTP service

## First-Time Setup

1. Add and deploy the app:
   ```bash
   wild app add peertube
   wild app deploy peertube
   ```

2. Log in with the root admin account:
   - **Username**: `root`
   - **Password**: value of `adminPassword` in your `secrets.yaml`

3. Complete the setup wizard that appears on first login (instance name, description, etc.).

4. Start uploading videos or configure federation with other PeerTube instances.

## Notes

- Increase `storage` significantly if you plan to host many videos — video files can be large
- The `secretKey` is auto-generated and used for signing tokens
- Federation with other PeerTube instances is opt-in and configured per-instance
- Live streaming requires additional UDP port configuration on your router
