v2.1.0
Since v2.0.0
IMPORTANT NOTES
- /!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\ You need to execute manually a script (can be executed after your upgrade, while your PeerTube instance is running) to create HLS video torrents:
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-2.1.js
- /!\ VERY IMPORTANT /!\ In the next PeerTube release (v2.2.0), we'll add a unique index on actors usernames to fix some federation bugs.
Please check now if you have conflicts using:- Go inside your database using
sudo -u postgres psql peertube_prod
and runselect "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
- Go inside your database using
- We now use Buster for the docker image, so the image name changed:
production-stretch
becomesproduction-buster
v2.x.x-stretch
becomesv2.x.x-buster
- Users cannot create more than 20 channels now to avoid UX and actor name squatting issues
- We added a warning if the
videos
directory is the same than theredundancy
one in your configuration file: it can create some bugs
