Lost with Docker installation

[Togno]

Greetings,

I have a synology NAS with an Intel CPU good at transcoding which goes EOL i wish to use as de dedicated peertube instance.

I would like to use a docker image to install peertube on it.

https://hub.docker.com/r/chocobozzz/peertube/
Sadly I feel like the information provided are insuffisant for a « rookie » like me to setup.
I don’t see the usual environment variables I have to enter or anything else I usually get in the readme section on github for the configuration.

The main peertube website is not really helpfull as well since it only give information for a VPS installation, most is not usefull in my case.

I’m not starting from scratch regarding IT knowledge, but i’m far from beeing a pro.

Maybe someone has a 3rd party tutorial somewhere i could follow ?

I saw this one How to Install PeerTube on Your Synology NAS – Marius Hosting
But it does not provite much me help since it do not focus on the same docker host I have and force the usage of portainer which i’d like not to use, so most of it does not apply to my case.

Thank you.

Here is what i did until now :

Add the chocobozzz-peertube1 container to docker.
Setup port 80
Setup port 9000
Setup a reverse proxy (https => http), with websocker wss => ws for port 443 (=>80) and 9000
NAT configuration fort port 443 and 9000

Mapped 4 folders :

Added one environement variable
PEERTUBE_WEBSERVER_HOSTNAME
With the proper URL, in the docker application

If i start the container I can get a page

and the log show a lot of debug line

From my understanding it seek somes files it cannot get.

But my knowledge is extremly limited and for 99% of docker service I can get on github following those steps and setting the environment variable (usually displayed in the readme) is ok to make it work.

Basically nothing on the page docs .joinpeertube.org/install/docker is actually usefull in my case
And the page hub .docker.com/r/chocobozzz/peertube/ provide zero information

Here is the docker guide: PeerTube/support/doc/docker.md at develop · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub
I don’t use portainer and don’t have a Synology NAS. Even though I have been using Docker for many years, half of the things you said went over my head.

If I understood what you are trying to do (host peertube on your NAS under subdomain provided by Synology), then you should follow the Install part of the above linked documentation without deviating from it.
You are going to need:

• copy and edit dockers-compose.yml file
• copy and edit .env file.
• setup email via SMTP either using Google or your own email server or service.

NOTE: you shouldn’t open both 80 and 9000. It should either be port 80 and 443 exposed to webserver along with Peertube, or webserver elsewhere pointing your subdomain to port 9000 here. Since you will be using Synology provided subdomain, don’t expose port 9000 in docker compose (leave it as is, commented out).

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

The thing is, on synology NAS we have a GUI. We don’t work on files directly as we do on a VPS.

Basically I can edit parameter of the .env file using this GUI (assuming i know which one), but not much more =/

Peertube et Docker sur Synology

Bonjour, Je souhaiterai héberger une instance sur mon nas synology. Est ce que quelqu’un a déjà essayer de l’installer sur le docker d’un NAS synology? Est ce que vous savez si il y a une petite procédure quelques part pour le faire? je n’ai pas trouvé… Merci.

PeerTube on Synology NAS

Hello at all, I tried to run PeerTube on a Synology NAS with DSM6 by Docker, but till now, I have no success. I tried to work with the guide on https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/install-docker but I guess to haven an understanding problem about how the components work together. I do not know from where to get the information about « TRAEFIK_ACME_EMAIL » or « TRAEFIK_ACME_DOMAINS ». Furthermore I don’t know how to run the postregSQL database and how to get the needed informations about DB-Usern…

En continuant de fouiller le forum je me rends compte que c’est une problématique vaguement récurrente qui revient ici.

Mais que les « monsieur-tout-le-monde » comme moi n’arrivent pas à le faire marcher.

Ce que je ne comprends pas c’est qu’en mappant le dossier /config aucun fichier n’est créé à l’intérieur.
J’ai testé avec d’autres paquets et eux peuplent bien les dossiers mappé (/config, /data…) avec des fichiers.
Egalement mettre un fichier docker-compose.yml et .env dans ce fameur dossier /config ne change rien

Là encore c’est une manip qui fonctionne sur les autres containeurs.

Le tuto de marius hosting fonctionne sans doute mais impose l’utilisation de portainer et tout un tas de manip que je ne comprends pas bien.
