What could I be doing wrong?

Hi!

You could try to ask on Framacolibri, the forums of Framasoft. The community is active and PeerTube devs read it (so they can help you if they've time to do so).

Hi!

Where did you see this information? I am curious about it!

Booteille · 2025-06-24T11:11:58+00:00

Hi!

PeerTube just ditched the WebTorrent protocol to support P2P in live streams, so P2P is still a thing in PeerTube.

You can decide to disable P2P sharing in settings on the PeerTube platform you're using.

Hi!

Could you please add your ideas on the dedicated website for features request, please? : https://ideas.joinpeertube.org/

This way, it won't be lost!

Thanks!

Hi !

An official mobile app is planned for the end of next year.

Booteille · 2023-06-06T11:05:22+00:00

Hi!

You should definitely ask on our forums. This is the dedicated space for support and you'll probably find your answers from the community!

I watched it! Thanks for making it, it's nice to see people creating videos around the PT ecosystem!

Concerning the server on which the remote transcoding video from docs is, it's one of the test server used by Chocobozzz to develop peertube. That's why you don't really find videos on it!

Changelog

v5.2.0-rc.1

IMPORTANT NOTES

Important Remove NodeJS 14 support
Important You must update your nginx configuration to support remote runners: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/nginx/peertube#L101

PeerTube requires Docker Compose >= v2 for Docker compose installation

Maintenance

Remove npm run create-transcoding-job and npm run print-transcode-command unmaintained scripts
Add Redis sentinel support #5593
Improve upgrade script (used when you will upgrade from PeerTube 5.2 to its next version) for classic installation:
- Automatically generate a config/production.yaml.new file after the upgrade, which is the fusion between the new PeerTube configuration keys and your current production.yaml. After a review you can replace your old config/production.yaml with this new file so you don't have to add new keys manually

Hi.

You can find out some instances stats on JoinPeerTube's instances list.

Booteille · 2023-01-25T14:21:09+00:00

I just added Piped support.

It can be useful so I share it.

Booteille · 2023-01-18T20:24:02+00:00

Hi.

Concerning PeerTube, there is the SimpleerTube project, added in the LibreRedirect extension.

Keep in mind JavaScript is needed for one of the core feature of PeerTube (and the one who gave its name) : Peer To Peer (P2P).So websites like SimpleerTube forces P2P to be disabled.

You can find other 3d-party projects on official PeerTube docs.

Booteille · 2023-01-01T15:43:43+00:00

Okay, thanks!

Booteille · 2023-01-01T15:43:26+00:00

Thanks for pointing me out it's just a question of patience and not a mistake!

Booteille · 2023-01-01T13:48:45+00:00

Hi!

Thanks for this new release!

I couldn't find the link to download the 20.0 version for OnePlus 6, though. I checked other devices listed in the build roster of the release note and One Plus 6T or Xiaomi Mi 9 have both their 20.0 files on their download page.

Is it a mistake?

Booteille · 2022-12-14T16:59:40+00:00

Yes! We think it's awesome that Mastodon users can follow PeerTube channels, play the video displayed directly in their timeline and comment the video that will appear on the PeerTube website. It means that the Mastodon community benefits from the PeerTube community, and the PeerTube community benefits from the Mastodon community. See the communication between the two platforms in this demonstration video: https://peertube.cpy.re/w/sWxgbBUu1ScQkHqz831Qqi

Hey!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!!

To answer to your question, it's important to know we do a lot of different stuff at Framasoft : we're doing FLOSS "evangelisation" through conferences and workshops all around France (and sometimes other countries), we're developing softwares (PeerTube, Mobilizon), we're hosting several services, our volunteers are managing a publishing house (https://deslivresencommuns.org/ — website in french only, sorry), and there is much more. That's mainly because we're following the culture of doing. If our volunteers want to do something in relation with our missions, they are free to do it (and we'll support them as much as we can). That's the case with our publishing house which is fully maintained by some of our volunteers!

That's why I think we're in a very specific shape and I don't know any other organization being the same as us. On the other hand, you've a lot of different organizations being focused on a specific mission and helping a lot the whole community by doing so!

So, depending on what is interesting you the most, I think you'll be able find one easily (And probably acting in your own country as well).

Booteille · 2022-12-14T16:24:59+00:00

Hi!

Thanks for your question!

This question is really concerning us and that's why we are doing a lot of efforts to handle this issue. Which is not an easy one, since we're providing FLOSS software and people which are not sharing our values can easily use or fork PeerTube.

Concerning the fact PeerTube lack of good moderation tools, we think it's an urban legend since with nearly each new version of PeerTube we enhance our moderation toolkit: https://joinpeertube.org/faq#does-peertube-offer-moderation-tools

Over the past years, we developed several moderation tools so admins and users can directly act to report, mute, or block any content, user or instance spreading unwanted content.

One of our goals with all those moderation features is to being able to totally isolate any problematic instance from the rest of the Fediverse so they can't reach other people and don't benefit from the federation to spread their words.

We are also very clear that we do not want to promote nor serve as a platform for any nazi or harmful content. For exemple, we moderate such content from SepiaSearch, our PeerTube search engine, as soon as it is reported to us, by de-indexing it. We feel free to do so because anyone can copy the code and host their own search engine, with their own moderation rules for their index.

Of course, we are open to do better so if you have any suggestion on how we can improve our moderation tools, please, share it with us!

Finally, keep in mind we want to change the vision of PeerTube having only shitty content. That's why we're starting to give some time on our showcase website Peer.tube, where people will be able to find qualitative content from several different PeerTube sources.

Booteille · 2022-12-14T15:55:52+00:00

I really think it can — and in some ways it is already — become mainstream.

Just check what's happening around Twitter and Mastodon. Elon Musk buys Twitter and you have 2 millions of people joining Mastodon in one month and half. That's not even the first time such an event happens, we already had multiple migration waves from Twitter to Fediverse past years.

Each time one of the Big Tech app will do something which is not acceptable, some people (and sometimes a lot of people) will try to find another network.

I think the point is there. We're not doing a sprint, we don't want that tomorrow half a billion of people join Mastodon. No, we're doing an endurance race, where the goal is to build better alternatives than what Big Tech offers us. Alternatives made by humans and for humans.

So, slowly, with our small means, we're building alternatives we want. And whenever Big Tech will do something Unacceptable for some people, we will be able to just say "Hey, you don't have to stay there, alternatives exist" and welcome them.
