## Installation
See [Invidious-Updater](https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater) for a self-contained script that can automatically install and update Invidious.
### Docker:
#### Build and start cluster:
```bash
$ docker-compose up
```
And visit `localhost:3000` in your browser.
#### Rebuild cluster:
```bash
$ docker-compose build
```
#### Delete data and rebuild:
```bash
$ docker volume rm invidious_postgresdata
$ docker-compose build
```
### Linux:
#### Install dependencies
```bash
# Arch Linux
$ sudo pacman -S shards crystal librsvg postgresql
# Ubuntu or Debian
# First you have to add the repository to your APT configuration. For easy setup just run in your command line:
$ curl -sSL https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt/setup.sh | sudo bash
# That will add the signing key and the repository configuration. If you prefer to do it manually, execute the following commands:
$ curl -sL "https://keybase.io/crystal/pgp_keys.asc" | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt crystal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/crystal.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install crystal libssl-dev libxml2-dev libyaml-dev libgmp-dev libreadline-dev postgresql librsvg2-bin libsqlite3-dev
```
#### Add invidious user and clone repository
```bash
$ useradd -m invidious
$ sudo -i -u invidious
$ git clone https://github.com/omarroth/invidious
$ exit
```
#### Setup PostgresSQL
```bash
$ sudo systemctl enable postgresql
$ sudo systemctl start postgresql
$ sudo -i -u postgres
$ psql -c "CREATE USER kemal WITH PASSWORD 'kemal';" # Change 'kemal' here to a stronger password, and update `password` in config/config.yml
$ createdb -O kemal invidious
$ psql invidious kemal < /home/invidious/invidious/config/sql/channels.sql
