From Wikipedia:PeerTube:

PeerTube is a free and open-source, decentralized, federated video platform powered by ActivityPub and WebTorrent, that uses peer-to-peer technology to reduce load on individual servers when viewing videos.

Installation

Install the peertube^AUR package.

Setup

Follow the configuration steps of the production guide:

Create a database and user with a password in PostgreSQL, following the instructions on the GitHub link.
Edit the first section of the /etc/peertube/production.yaml. Make sure you change the database password to match the one you set earlier.
Start/enable the Redis service.
If you want to edit the settings through the web UI, you must change the ownership of the configuration folder:
```
# chown -R peertube:peertube /etc/peertube
```
(Optional) Configure and start a reverse proxy. PeerTube has official support for nginx, and the configuration file can be found at
```
/usr/share/webapps/peertube/support/nginx/peertube
```
Make sure you change the file paths to the ones used by this package.
(Optional) If you are having trouble with getting the package to work, fix possible permissions problems:
```
# chown -R peertube:peertube /var/lib/peertube/
```

Finally, start the peertube service and point your browser to the URL from the configuration file (http://localhost:9000 by default without a reverse proxy).

Note: Once an address has been set in the configuration file, e.g. peertube.example.com, users can only login from that address, and not from other locations, such as localhost:9000.
