* Tubo
Tubo is a streaming front-end focused on bringing the [[https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe][NewPipe]] experience to the web. It aims at providing a clean and simple user interface to consume media from your favorite streaming platforms. It currently supports the same services as NewPipe, including YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and more.

To retrieve the data, it wraps the excellent [[https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor][NewPipe Extractor]] library and it exposes the extracted data over a REST API that is consumed by a local re-frame SPA.

** 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
Alternatively, you can use Docker to set up Tubo. Simply invoke this:

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

**** Manual
You can also set up Tubo manually via the [[https://guix.gnu.org/][GNU Guix]] package manager. First, download the necessary tooling:

#+begin_src sh
cd /path/to/tubo
guix shell
#+end_src

Then, compile the downloader ahead-of-time:

#+begin_src sh
clojure -M -e "(compile 'tubo.downloader-impl)"
#+end_src

Fetch the front-end dependencies and build the front-end assets.

#+begin_src sh
npm i
npm run build
#+end_src

Finally, compile the front-end.

#+begin_src sh
clojure -M:frontend release tubo
#+end_src

You can now start a local server that listens on port 3000 by running this:

#+begin_src sh
clojure -M:run
#+end_src

Access the front-end in your browser at =http://localhost:3000=.

*** Reverse Proxy
If you want to self-host Tubo and make it publicly accessible you'll need to set up a reverse proxy.

**** Nginx

#+begin_src nginx
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name tubo.<YOUR_DOMAIN>;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/tubo.<YOUR_DOMAIN>/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/tubo.<YOUR_DOMAIN>/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://github.com/einaregilsson/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 can 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). Replace https://tubo.migalmoreno.com/ in the redirect rule to the instance of your choice.
