## 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 -fsSL https://crystal-lang.org/install.sh | sudo bash
# That will add the signing key and the repository configuration. If you prefer to do it manually, Follow the instructions here https://crystal-lang.org/install
$ 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 --now 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
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/channel_videos.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/users.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/session_ids.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/nonces.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/annotations.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/playlists.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/playlist_videos.sql
$ exit
```
#### Set up Invidious
```bash
$ sudo -i -u invidious
$ cd invidious
$ shards update && shards install
$ crystal build src/invidious.cr --release
# test compiled binary
$ ./invidious # stop with ctrl c
$ exit
```
#### Systemd service:
```bash
$ sudo cp /home/invidious/invidious/invidious.service /etc/systemd/system/invidious.service
$ sudo systemctl enable --now invidious.service
```
#### Logrotate:
```bash
$ echo "/home/invidious/invidious/invidious.log {
rotate 4
weekly
notifempty
missingok
compress
minsize 1048576
}" | sudo tee /etc/logrotate.d/invidious.logrotate
$ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/logrotate.d/invidious.logrotate
```
### MacOS:
```bash
# Install dependencies
$ brew update
$ brew install shards crystal postgres imagemagick librsvg
# Clone the repository and set up a PostgreSQL database
$ git clone https://github.com/iv-org/invidious
$ cd invidious
$ brew services start postgresql
$ psql -c "CREATE ROLE 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 < config/sql/channels.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/videos.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/channel_videos.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/users.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/session_ids.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/nonces.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/annotations.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/privacy.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/playlists.sql
$ psql invidious kemal < config/sql/playlist_videos.sql
# Set up Invidious
$ shards update && shards install
$ crystal build src/invidious.cr --release
```
## Post-install configuration:
Detailed configuration available in the [configuration guide](./Configuration.md).
Because of various issues Invidious **must** be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hours.
If you use a reverse proxy, you **must** configure invidious to properly serve request through it:
`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
## Update Invidious
Instructions are available in the [updating guide](./Updating.md).
## Usage:
```bash
$ ./invidious -h
Usage: invidious [arguments]
-b HOST, --bind HOST Host to bind (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
-p PORT, --port PORT Port to listen for connections (defaults to 3000)
-s, --ssl Enables SSL
--ssl-key-file FILE SSL key file
--ssl-cert-file FILE SSL certificate file
-h, --help Shows this help
-c THREADS, --channel-threads=THREADS
Number of threads for refreshing channels (default: 1)
-f THREADS, --feed-threads=THREADS
