## 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 Linux install.
For Fedora/RHEL/Rocky/CentOS
```
sudo dnf install git make gcc libcurl nodejs python libcurl4 g++
```
For Debian/Ubuntu
```
sudo apt install git make gcc libcurl4-openssl-dev nodejs npm python g++
```
Once you have everything, clone our repo:
Clone via Codeberg
```
git clone https://codeberg.org/ashley/poke.git
```
Clone via GitHub
```
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.
