+## Why
+
+We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enought money to pay bandwith and video storage of its server.
+
+So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example).
+But it's not enought because one video could become famous and overload the server.
+It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
+Thanks to [webtorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus bittorrent) inside the web browser right now.

## Features
+- [ ] Frontend
+ - [X] Simple frontend (All elements are generated by jQuery)
+ - [ ] AngularJS frontend
- [ ] Join a network
- [X] Generate a RSA key
- [X] Ask for the friend list of other pods and make friend with them
- [ ] Inscription
- [ ] Connection
- [ ] Account rights (upload...)
-- [ ] Make the network auto sufficient (eject bad pods etc)
+- [X] Make the network auto sufficient (eject bad pods etc)
- [ ] Manage API breaks
- [ ] Add "DDOS" security (check if a pod don't send too many requests for example)
-## Front compatibility
- * Chromium
- * Firefox (>= 42 for MediaSource support)
+## Usage
+### Front compatibility
-## Usage
+ * Chromium
+ * Firefox (>= 42 for MediaSource support)
### Dependencies
- * NodeJS >= 0.12
+ * NodeJS == 0.12
* Grunt-cli (npm install -g grunt-cli)
* OpenSSL (cli)
* MongoDB
- * xvfb-run (for electron)
+ * xvfb-run libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 (for electron)
### Test It!
$ npm start
### Test with 3 fresh nodes
+
$ scripts/clean_test.sh
$ scripts/run_servers.sh
Then you will can access to the three nodes at http://localhost:900{1,2,3}. If you call "make friends" on http://localhost:9002, the pod 2 and 3 will become friends. Then if you call "make friends" on http://localhost:9001 it will become friend with the pod 2 and 3 (check the configuration files). Then the pod will communicate with each others. If you add a video on the pod 3 you'll can see it on the pod 1 and 2 :)

+You can test it inside Docker with the [PeerTube-Docker repository](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube-Docker). Moreover it can help you to check how to create an environment with the required dependencies for PeerTube on a GNU/Linux distribution.
## Architecture
### Frontend
There would be a simple frontend (Bootstrap, AngularJS) but since the backend is a REST API anybody could build a frontend (Web application, desktop application...).
-The backend uses bittorent protocol, so users could use their favorite bittorent client to download/play the video after having its torrent URI.
