## Give your feedback
|
|
|
|
You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to PeerTube! Other
|
|
contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and
|
|
report bugs, you can give feedback on potential bugs, features that you are
|
|
interested in, user interface, design, decentralized architecture...
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Write documentation
|
|
|
|
You can help to write the documentation of the REST API, code, architecture,
|
|
demonstrations...
|
|
|
|
## Develop
|
|
|
|
Don't hesitate to talk about features you want to develop by creating an issue
|
|
before you start working on them :).
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
First, make sure that you have followed
|
|
[the steps](/support/doc/dependencies.md)
|
|
to install the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Then clone the sources and install node modules:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
|
|
$ cd PeerTube
|
|
$ yarn install --pure-lockfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the
|
|
`config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values
|
|
there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev`
|
|
and a postgres user called `peertube` with password `peertube`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
|
|
Enter password for new role: peertube
|
|
# sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In dev mode, administrator username is **root** and password is **test**.
|
|
|
|
### Server side
|
|
|
|
You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture [here](/support/doc/development/server/code.md).
|
|
|
|
To develop on the server-side:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm run dev:server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files
|
|
change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically
|
|
restart. Server is in `TEST` mode so it will run requests between instances more quickly.
|
|
|
|
### Client side
|
|
|
|
You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture
|
|
[here](/support/doc/development/client/code.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
To develop on the client side:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm run dev:client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`.
|
|
Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will
|
|
reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement.
|
|
|
|
### Test federation
|
|
|
|
This will run 3 nodes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm run clean:server:test
|
|
$ npm run play
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}`
|
|
with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password.
