# SimpleerTube Active Known Instances: - https://simpleertube.metalune.xyz If you want to add your instance to this list, message us on IRC (#simple-web on irc.libera.chat). For the rest of the documentation, https://simpleertube.metalune.xyz will be used as an example instance. If you want to visit any page from your PeerTube instance of choice in SimpleerTube, just prepend https://simpleertube.metalune.xyz to the URL. So, `https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/accounts/luke` becomes `https://simpleertube.metalune.xyz/videos.lukesmith.xyz/accounts/luke`. If you visit the main page, you can search globally (it uses [Sepia Search](https://sepiasearch.org) in the backend). ## Setup You need to setup a few dependencies first, usually using pip (`sudo apt install python3-pip` on Debian): ``` $ sudo pip3 install quart bs4 html2text lxml ``` **Note:** If there are other dependencies that are not packaged with your system, please report them to us so they can be added to this README. Now you can run a development environment like so: ``` $ python3 main.py # Starts on localhost:5000 $ python3 main.py 192.168.42.2 # Starts on 192.168.42.2:5000 $ python3 main.py 7171 # Starts on localhost:7171 $ python3 main.py 192.168.42.2 7171 # Starts on 192.168.42.2:7171 $ python3 main.py ::1 7171 # Also works with IPv6 addresses ``` It is strongly disrecommended to run the production using this command. Instead, please refer to the [Quart deployment docs](https://pgjones.gitlab.io/quart/tutorials/deployment.html). ## License This software is distributed under the AGPLv3 license.
