Chocobozzz/PeerTube v7.2.0

on GitHub

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Important You need to manually execute a migration script after your upgrade while PeerTube is running and the database migration is complete (Migrations finished. New migration version schema: xxx in PeerTube startup logs):
  • 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-7.2.js
  • Docker installation: cd /var/www/peertube-docker && docker compose exec -u peertube peertube node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-7.2.js

SECURITY

• If you installed PeerTube using the official documentation, we highly recommend setting the default user shell to nologin. For example on GNU/Linux: chsh -s /usr/sbin/nologin peertube
• If you installed PeerTube runners using the official Systemd service documentation, we highly recommend setting the default user shell to nologin. For example on GNU/Linux: chsh -s /usr/sbin/nologin prunner

Configuration

• Prefer to not store lives in object storage by default: object_storage.streaming_playlists.store_live_streams is now false in the config template
• Use hot trending algorithm by default: trending.videos.default is now hot in the config template
• Add global rate limit to video download that can be changed by download_generate_video.max_parallel_downloads

Docker

• Add missing docker env options to configure live settings #6948
• Expose NGINX logs folder in docker-compose.yml #6963
• Add exec to NGINX process to ensure is PID 1 and then ensure a graceful shutdown#7041

NGINX

• Fix max body size inconsistency with PeerTube backend: a2812e4

Plugins/Themes/Embed API

  • filter:email.subject.result & filter:email.template-path.result #6876
