Migrating videos from YouTube to PeerTube inside a Docker container
August 15, 2018 [PeerTube, Videos]I have quite a few videos hosted on YouTube that I would like to upload to my new PeerTube location, but I don't want to install all the PeerTube dependencies on my machine, so I did it all inside a Docker image.
First I built and started a Docker container:
$ git clone https://github.com/chocobozzz/PeerTube /tmp/peertube $ cd /tmp/peertube $ docker build . -f ./support/docker/production/Dockerfile.buster --tag peertube $ docker run --tty --interactive peertube bash
Then I ran these commands inside it:
# apt update && apt install git -y && apt upgrade -y # npm install -g npm n typescript # n stable # yarn upgrade yarn # NODE_ENV=develop NOCLIENT=1 yarn install --pure-lockfile --production=false # NODE_ENV=develop npm run setup:cli # node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js --url "https://peertube.mastodon.host" --username "andybalaam" --target-url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG0qRDrUPpA" --password=mypw
Of course, it would be better to write this up into its own Dockerfile to make this a one-liner.
