# Installation
|
|
|
|
After installation take a look at the [Post-install steps](#post-install-configuration).
|
|
|
|
Note: Any [PaaS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_as_a_service) or [SaaS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service) provider/software (Heroku, YunoHost, Repli...) are unsupported. Use them at your own risk. They **WILL** cause problems with Invidious and might even suspend your account for "abuse" since Invidious is heavy, bandwidth intensive and technically a proxy (and most providers don't like them). If you use one and want to report an issue, please mention which one you use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Hardware requirements
|
|
|
|
Running Invidious requires at least 20GB disk space, 512MB of free RAM (so ~2G installed on the system), as long as it is restarted regularly, as recommended in the post-install configuration. Public instances should ideally have at least 60G disk space, 4GB of RAM, 2vCPU, a 200 mbps link and 20TB of traffic (no data cap/unlimited traffic is preferred).
|
|
|
|
Compiling Invidious requires at least 2.5GB of free RAM (We recommend to have at least 4GB installed).
|
|
If you have less (e.g on a cheap VPS) you can setup a SWAP file or partition, so the combined amount is >= 4GB.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
**The Invidious docker image is only [available on Quay](https://quay.io/repository/invidious/invidious) because, unlike Docker Hub, [Quay is Free and Open Source Software](https://github.com/quay/quay/blob/master/LICENSE). This is reflected in the `docker-compose.yml` file used in this walk-through.**
|
|
|
|
Ensure [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install) are installed before beginning.
|
|
|
|
### Docker-compose method (production)
|
|
|
|
**This method uses the pre-built Docker image from quay**
|
|
|
|
Note: Currently the repository has to be cloned, this is because the `init-invidious-db.sh` file and the `config/sql` directory have to be mounted to the postgres container (See the volumes section in the docker-compose file below). This "problem" will be solved in the future.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/iv-org/invidious.git
|
|
cd invidious
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit the docker-compose.yml with this content:
|
|
|
|
```docker
|
|
version: "3"
|
|
services:
|
|
|
|
invidious:
|

```
|
|
|
|
Note: This compose is made for a true "production" setup, where Invidious is behind a reverse proxy. If you prefer to directly access Invidious, replace `127.0.0.1:3000:3000` with `3000:3000` under the `ports:` section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Docker-compose method (development)
|
|
|
|
**This method builds a Docker image from source**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/iv-org/invidious.git
|
|
cd invidious
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

# Configure config/config.yml how you want
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Crystal, the programming language used by Invidious, [doesn't support Windows yet](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/5430) but you can still install Invidious through two kinds of ways:
|
|
|
|
- By installing [Docker desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/) and then following [our guide about Docker](#docker).
|
|
- By installing [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about) and then following [our guide about Linux](#linux).
|
|
|
|
## Post-install configuration:
|
|
|
|
Detailed configuration available in the [configuration guide](./configuration.md).
|
|
|
|
You must set a random generated value for the parameter `hmac_key:`! On Linux you can generate it using the command `pwgen 20 1`.
|
|
|
|
Because of various issues Invidious **must** be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour.
|
|
|
|
If you use a reverse proxy, you **must** configure invidious to properly serve request through it:
|
|
|
|
`https_only: true` : if you 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 you are serving your instance via https, set it to 443
|
|
|
|
## Update Invidious
|
|
|
|
#### Updating a Docker install
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose pull
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
docker image prune -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Update a manual install
|
|
```bash
|
|
su - invidious
|
|
cd invidious
|
|
git pull
|
|
make
|
|
exit
|
|
systemctl restart invidious.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./invidious
|
|
```
|
|
|
