IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Important You need to execute manually a migration script (can be executed after your upgrade, while your PeerTube instance is running) to generate smaller avatar miniatures:
    • 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-4.2.js
    • Docker installation: cd /var/www/peertube-docker && docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-4.2.js
  • Important SQL migrations (in particular 0685-multiple-actor-images) can take several minutes to complete
  • Important You must update your nginx configuration to support video web editor: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install-any-os?id=nginx
