Hosting Poke~

IMPORTANT

Before you host, if ur server is in usa, set the proxylocation to USA (which is the default) - if you use any eu server set it to EU instead to make videos load faster

With NodeJS

To self host your own Poke instance, you'll need some packages installed on your GNU/Linux install.

sudo dnf install git make gcc libcurl nodejs python libcurl4 g++

sudo apt install git make gcc libcurl4-openssl-dev nodejs npm python g++

Once you have everything, clone our repo:

git clone https://codeberg.org/ashley/poke.git

git clone https://github.com/ashley0143/poke.git

Now, install the needed dependencies within the Poke folder: ( go to the folder by running cd poke)

npm install 

Once everythings installed, start your server with the following command:

node server.js

Congrats, Poketube should now be running on localhost:6003!

With Docker

Create a new directory for PokeTube:

mkdir poketube && cd poketube

Download the docker compose and config file:

curl -O https://codeberg.org/Ashley/poke/raw/branch/main/docker-compose.yml

Run PokeTube:

docker compose up -d

PokeTube should be running on http://localhost:6003.

The port can be changed with the config file you downloaded, just change the server_port option.
