peertube-hwaccel

This is based on docker-ffmpeg, thanks for their hard work. The following is based on the assumption that a PeerTube service has already been set up.

How to use

Get Dockerfile and peertube source code. Replace $tag_version with specific release version, eg. v5.2.0

cd /tmp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanho/peertube-hwaccel/main/Dockerfile
git clone --depth 1 --branch $tag_version https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git

Build image

cd PeerTube
docker build . -t peertube-hwaccel -f ../Dockerfile

Edit peertube section in docker-compose.yml, replace "image: peertube-hwaccel" and add "runtime: nvidia"

  peertube:
    # If you don't want to use the official image and build one from sources:
    # build:
    #   context: .
    #   dockerfile: ./support/docker/production/Dockerfile.bullseye
    image: peertube-hwaccel
    runtime: nvidia
    # Use a static IP for this container because nginx does not handle proxy host change without reload
    # This container could be restarted on crash or until the postgresql database is ready for connection
    networks:
      default:
        ipv4_address: 172.18.0.42
    env_file:
      - .env

Restart service

docker compose down -v
docker compose up -d

In PeerTube admin interface install "hardware-transcode-nvenc" plugin. You can change quality and bitrate in the plugin setting.

Then in Setting/VOD transcode, select "nvenc" in transcode profile drop down list.

That's it.
