## Installation
|
|
|
|
See [Invidious-Updater](https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater) for a self-contained script that can automatically install and update Invidious.

|
|
### Docker:
|
|
|
|
#### Build and start cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And visit `localhost:3000` in your browser.
|
|
|
|
#### Rebuild cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Delete data and rebuild:
|
|
|

|
|
$ curl -sL "https://keybase.io/crystal/pgp_keys.asc" | sudo apt-key add -
|
|
$ echo "deb https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt crystal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/crystal.list
