* Installation
** Packaging
*** Uberjar
To bundle the whole project into a self-contained uber-jar you need to follow these build steps:

#+begin_src sh
npm i
npm run build
clojure -T:frontend:build uberjar
#+end_src

After the last command is completed, you'll get a path to the uber-jar, which you can run like this:

#+begin_src sh
java -jar target/tubo-<VERSION>.jar
#+end_src

*** Docker
For Docker, there's an image available in Docker Hub you can use:

#+begin_src sh
docker pull migalmoreno/tubo
docker run --publish 3000:3000 -d --name tubo migalmoreno/tubo:latest
#+end_src

There's also a Docker Compose file available which you can run like this:

#+begin_src sh
docker compose up -d
#+end_src

** Reverse Proxy
If you want to self-host Tubo and make it publicly accessible you'll need to set up a reverse proxy. The following shows some example configurations for various web servers:

*** Nginx

#+begin_src nginx
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name <TUBO_HOST>;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/<TUBO_HOST>/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/<TUBO_HOST>/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
    }
}
#+end_src

* Browser Extension Support
** [[https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/][Redirector]]
You can manually add any redirect rule based on regex patterns with this extension. Below are some sample configurations to redirect links from supported services to Tubo so you get a basic idea of how to write manual Redirector rules. Note the =serviceId= of each service is: YouTube (0), SoundCloud(1), media.ccc.de(2), PeerTube(3), and Bandcamp(4).
