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 run select "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
• We now use Buster for the docker image, so the image name changed:
  • production-stretch becomes production-buster
  • v2.x.x-stretch becomes v2.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 the redundancy one in your configuration file: it can create some bugs
