I’m trying to set up a PeerTube instance, mostly for personal use, and the part I got stuck with is the hostname.
I have a VPS with an IP address, and a domain with a completely different provider, where I could create a subdomain and forward it to the IP address.
I’ve read somewhere that running a PeerTube instance with just an IP isn’t possible, but what do I set as hostname in the configuration, then? The subdomain, or the IP?
And where do I forward the subdomain to? Do I have to forward to a certain port?
Best,
N
Nevermind, I registered a new domain and pointed it to the VPS by modifying the DNS entry …
Just an FYI if you need it in future
Yes you can use a sub domain with peertube you’d setup peertube on the sub domain for example peertube.domain.com (or whatever you call it)
You’d simply create a new A record on your domains DNS (with your domain provider) instead of @ you’d use the subdomain name and then point it to the server IP running peertube
If you look at your domain DNS you have something like
A @ 0.0.0.0
A www 0.0.0.0
You’d make one
A Subdomain Your.server.ip.address
