Chocobozzz/PeerTube v2.2.0-rc.1

on GitHub

IMPORTANT NOTES

• /!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\ We added a unique index on actors usernames to fix some federation bugs.
  Please check now if you have conflicts:
  • Go inside your database using sudo -u postgres psql peertube_prod and run select "preferredUsername" from actor where "serverId" is null group by "preferredUsername" having count(*) > 1;
  • If you have some results, it seems you have duplicate channels/accounts.
    For every entry, you'll have to change the preferredUsername of the entry you want (so they are unique).
    The updated actors could have some federations issues
• Changed auto_follow_index setting configuration: you now have to use the complete URL in index_url.
  If you used the default one, you now need to use https://instances.joinpeertube.org/api/v1/instances/hosts.
  This way, you can also use a direct raw URL (Gitlab, Github, pastebin, etc.) using a simple text format and easily maintain small communities or instance recommendation lists.
