Migrate server to ESM 
Sorry for the very big commit that may lead to git log issues and merge
conflicts, but it's a major step forward:

 * Server can be faster at startup because imports() are async and we can
   easily lazy import big modules
 * Angular doesn't seem to support ES import (with .js extension), so we
   had to correctly organize peertube into a monorepo:
    * Use yarn workspace feature
    * Use typescript reference projects for dependencies
    * Shared projects have been moved into "packages", each one is now a
      node module (with a dedicated package.json/tsconfig.json)
    * server/tools have been moved into apps/ and is now a dedicated app
      bundled and published on NPM so users don't have to build peertube
      cli tools manually
    * server/tests have been moved into packages/ so we don't compile
      them every time we want to run the server
 * Use isolatedModule option:
   * Had to move from const enum to const
     (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#objects-vs-enums)
   * Had to explictely specify "type" imports when used in decorators
 * Prefer tsx (that uses esbuild under the hood) instead of ts-node to
   load typescript files (tests with mocha or scripts):
     * To reduce test complexity as esbuild doesn't support decorator
       metadata, we only test server files that do not import server
       models
     * We still build tests files into js files for a faster CI
 * Remove unmaintained peertube CLI import script
 * Removed some barrels to speed up execution (less imports)

# CLI tools guide
[[toc]]
## Remote PeerTube CLI
`peertube-cli` is a tool that communicates with a PeerTube instance using its [REST API](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html).
It can be launched from a remote server/computer to easily upload videos, manage plugins, redundancies etc.
### Installation
Ensure you have `node` installed on your system:
```bash
node --version # Should be >= 16.x
```
Then install the CLI:
```bash
sudo npm install -g @peertube/peertube-cli
```
### CLI wrapper
The wrapper provides a convenient interface to the following sub-commands.
```
Usage: peertube-cli [command] [options]
Options:
-v, --version output the version number
-h, --help display help for command
Commands:
auth Register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands
upload|up [options] Upload a video on a PeerTube instance
redundancy|r Manage instance redundancies
plugins|p Manage instance plugins/themes
get-access-token|token [options] Get a peertube access token
help [command] display help for command
```
The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now.
```bash
peertube-cli auth add -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD'
peertube-cli auth list
┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│ instance │ login │
├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│ 'PEERTUBE_URL' │ 'PEERTUBE_USER' │
└──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
```
You can now use that account to execute sub-commands without feeding the `--url`, `--username` and `--password` parameters:
```bash
peertube-cli upload <videoFile>
peertube-cli plugins list
...
```
#### peertube-cli upload
You can use this script to upload videos directly from the CLI.
Videos will be publicly available after transcoding (you can see them before that in your account on the web interface).
```bash
cd ${CLONE}
peertube-cli upload --help
```
#### peertube-cli plugins
Install/update/uninstall or list local or NPM PeerTube plugins:
```bash
cd ${CLONE}
peertube-cli plugins --help
peertube-cli plugins list --help
peertube-cli plugins install --help
peertube-cli plugins update --help
peertube-cli plugins uninstall --help
peertube-cli plugins install --path /my/plugin/path
peertube-cli plugins install --npm-name peertube-theme-example
```
#### peertube-cli redundancy
Manage (list/add/remove) video redundancies:
To list your videos that are duplicated by remote instances:
```bash
peertube-cli redundancy list-remote-redundancies
```
To list remote videos that your instance duplicated:
```bash
peertube-cli redundancy list-my-redundancies
```
To duplicate a specific video in your redundancy system:
```bash
peertube-cli redundancy add --video 823
```
To remove a video redundancy:
```bash
peertube-cli redundancy remove --video 823
```
## PeerTube runner
PeerTube >= 5.2 supports VOD or Live transcoding by a remote PeerTube runner.
### Installation
Ensure you have `node`, `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` installed on your system:
```bash
node --version # Should be >= 16.x
ffprobe -version # Should be >= 4.3
ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.3
```
Then install the CLI:
```bash
sudo npm install -g @peertube/peertube-runner
```
### Configuration
The runner uses env paths like `~/.config`, `~/.cache` and `~/.local/share` directories to store runner configuration or temporary files.
Multiple PeerTube runners can run on the same OS by using the `--id` CLI option (each runner uses its own config/tmp directories):
```bash
peertube-runner [commands] --id instance-1
peertube-runner [commands] --id instance-2
peertube-runner [commands] --id instance-3
```
You can change the runner configuration (jobs concurrency, ffmpeg threads/nice etc) by editing `~/.config/peertube-runner-nodejs/[id]/config.toml`.
### Run the server
You need to run the runner in server mode first so it can run transcoding jobs of registered PeerTube instances:
```bash
peertube-runner server
```
### Register
Then, you can register the runner to process transcoding job of a remote PeerTube instance:
```bash
peertube-runner register --url http://peertube.example.com --registration-token ptrrt-... --runner-name my-runner-name
```
The runner will then use a websocket connection with the PeerTube instance to be notified about new available transcoding jobs.
### Unregister
To unregister a PeerTube instance:
```bash
peertube-runner unregister --url http://peertube.example.com --runner-name my-runner-name
```
### List registered instances
```bash
peertube-runner list-registered
```
## Server tools
Server tools are scripts that interect directly with the code of your PeerTube instance.
They must be run on the server, in `peertube-latest` directory.
### Parse logs
To parse PeerTube last log file:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level info
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level info
```
`--level` is optional and could be `info`/`warn`/`error`
You can also remove SQL or HTTP logs using `--not-tags` (PeerTube >= 3.2):
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run parse-log -- --level debug --not-tags http sql
```
### Regenerate video thumbnails
Regenerating local video thumbnails could be useful because new PeerTube releases may increase thumbnail sizes:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run regenerate-thumbnails
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run regenerate-thumbnails
```
### Add or replace specific video file
You can use this script to import a video file to replace an already uploaded file or to add a new web compatible resolution to a video. PeerTube needs to be running.
You can then create a transcoding job using the web interface if you need to optimize your file or create an HLS version of it.
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-import-video-file-job -- -v [videoUUID] -i [videoFile]
```
### Move video files to object storage
Use this script to move all video files or a specific video file to object storage.
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage -v [videoUUID]
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage -v [videoUUID]
```
The script can also move all video files that are not already in object storage:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage --all-videos
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-move-video-storage-job -- --to-object-storage --all-videos
```
<!-- TODO: uncomment when PeerTube 6 is released
### Generate storyboard
**PeerTube >= 6.0**
Use this script to generate storyboard of a specific video:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-generate-storyboard-job -- -v [videoUUID]
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-generate-storyboard-job -- -v [videoUUID]
```
The script can also generate all missing storyboards of local videos:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-generate-storyboard-job -- --all-videos
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run create-generate-storyboard-job -- --all-videos
```
-->
### Prune filesystem storage
Some transcoded videos or shutdown at a bad time can leave some unused files on your storage.
Stop PeerTube and delete these files (a confirmation will be demanded first):
```bash
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo systemctl stop peertube && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run prune-storage
```
### Update PeerTube instance domain name
**Changing the hostname is unsupported and may be a risky operation, especially if you have already federated.**
If you started PeerTube with a domain, and then changed it you will have
invalid torrent files and invalid URLs in your database. To fix this, you have
to run the command below (keep in mind your follower instances will NOT update their URLs).
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run update-host
```
### Reset user password
To reset a user password from CLI, run:
```bash
# Basic installation
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u target_username
```
### Install or uninstall plugins
The difference with `peertube plugins` CLI is that these scripts can be used even if PeerTube is not running.
If PeerTube is running, you need to restart it for the changes to take effect (whereas with `peertube plugins` CLI, plugins/themes are dynamically loaded on the server).
To install/update a plugin or a theme from the disk:
```bash
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --plugin-path /local/plugin/path
```
From NPM:
```bash
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
```
To uninstall a plugin or a theme:
```bash
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
# Docker installation
cd /var/www/peertube-docker
docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run plugin:uninstall -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-myplugin
```
