IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Important Private and internal video files are now protected. See #5370 for more information, but see below for most important information:
    • For private/internal videos on filesystem:
      • These videos are now under a private/ subdirectory in videos/ and streaming-playlists/ directories
      • Nginx doesn't serve these private files anymore, the requests are forwarded to PeerTube that will check authentication
    • For private/internal videos in object storage:
      • These videos have now a private ACL
      • PeerTube proxifies requests to private object storage (using pre-signed URLs is not possible as explained in #5370)
    • Torrent files and magnet URIs of private/internal videos don't contain a webseed URL anymore since they require authentication
  • Important You need to manually execute a migration script after your upgrade to migrate private/internal video files:
    • Classic installation: cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-5.0.js
    • Docker installation: cd /var/www/peertube-docker && docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-5.0.js
  • There is a new secrets.peertube configuration. You must fill it before running PeerTube v5
  • You must update your nginx configuration:
    • We introduced a new location for plugin websocket routes
    • We introduced a new location for private videos files

Documentation
