## Installation:
|
|
|
|
To manually compile invidious you need at least 2GB of RAM. If you have less you can setup SWAP to have a combined amount of 2 GB or use Docker instead.
|
|
|
|
After installation take a look at the [Post-install steps](#post-install-configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Automated installation:
|
|
|
|
[Invidious-Updater](https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater) is a self-contained script that can automatically install and update Invidious.
|
|
|
|
### Docker:
|
|
|
|
#### Build and start cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then visit `localhost:3000` in your browser.
|
|
|
|
#### Rebuild cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Delete data and rebuild:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker volume rm invidious_postgresdata
|
|
$ docker-compose build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Manual installation:
|
|
|
|
### Linux:
|
|
|
|
#### Install the dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Arch Linux
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S base-devel shards crystal librsvg postgresql
|
|
|
|
# Ubuntu or Debian
|
|
# First you have to add the repository to your APT configuration. For easy setup just run in your command line:
|
|
$ curl -sSL https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt/setup.sh | sudo bash
|
|
# That will add the signing key and the repository configuration. If you prefer to do it manually, execute the following commands:
|
|
$ 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
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
$ sudo apt install crystal libssl-dev libxml2-dev libyaml-dev libgmp-dev libreadline-dev postgresql librsvg2-bin libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Add an Invidious user and clone the repository
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ useradd -m invidious
|
|
$ sudo -i -u invidious
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/iv-org/invidious
|
|
$ exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Set up PostgresSQL
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable postgresql
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start postgresql
|
|
$ sudo -i -u postgres
|
|
$ psql -c "CREATE USER kemal WITH PASSWORD 'kemal';" # Change 'kemal' here to a stronger password, and update `password` in config/config.yml
|
|
$ createdb -O kemal invidious
|
|
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/channels.sql
|
|
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/videos.sql

## Post-install configuration:
|
|
|
|
Detailed configuration available in the [configuration guide](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/wiki/Configuration).

|
|

|
|
|
|
`https_only: true` : if your are serving your instance via https, set it to true
|
|
|
|
`domain: domain.ext`: if you are serving your instance via a domain name, set it here
|
|
|
|
`external_port: 443`: if your are serving your instance via https, set it to 443
|
|
