# Installation
|
|
|
|
Compiling invidious requires at least 2GB of free RAM (We recommend to have at least 3GB installed).
|
|
If you have less (e.g on a cheap VPS) you can setup a SWAP file or partition, so the combined amount is >= 3GB.
|
|
|
|
After installation take a look at the [Post-install steps](#post-install-configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Note on blocking bots
|
|
|
|
Allowing bots that excessively crawl (Semrush, webmeup, etc.) will lead your instance to get blocked very fast. While not required, it is a good idea to consider using bot blocking software such as [Nginx Bad Bot Blocker](https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker).
|
|
|
|
## Automated installation
|
|
|
|
[Invidious-Updater](https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater) is a self-contained script that can automatically install and update Invidious.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
> The Invidious docker image is only [available on Quay](https://quay.io/repository/invidious/invidious) because, unlike Docker Hub, [Quay is open source](https://github.com/quay/quay/blob/master/LICENSE). This is reflected in the `docker-compose.yml` file used in this walkthrough.{.is-warning}
|
|
|
|
Ensure [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) are installed before beginning.
|
|
|
|
### Make directory
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ mkdir invidious
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create Docker Compose file
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd invidious
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nano docker-compose.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is a working Compose setup:
|
|
```docker

|
|
|
### Start Invidious
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
to run it in the background.
|
|
|
|
Then, visit `localhost:3000` in your browser.
|
|
|
|
### Stop Invidious
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Delete data
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker volume rm invidious_postgresdata
|
|
```
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
## 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).
|
|
|
|
