Can Peertube use JWT tokens to access specific videos?

PeerTube

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out if peertube will fit the following requirements.

  • We need to embedded videos in a web application which has already authenticated a user
  • The videos should not be publically available but only to users who have been authenticated by the web app
  • Users on the web app will be in different groups and should only access videos for that group.

Is there a way to do this with Peertube or any other open source alternative? From my research I suspect that its not possible in Peertube but would be great to know if this is true or not. I was thinking of something like a jwt token?

thanks

You can just configure your reverse proxy to catch the embed route, and deal with the authentication there with your app proxying the embed route.

Another way could be a peertube plugin that checks user auth and refuses to serve the video if the user is not logged in on the remote platform

That is very interesting, thank you. Is it possible to configure proxy in such a way, if peertube is running on YunoHost instance?

Yes. YunoHost has a reverse-proxy which you can configure, though I don’t think your changes would be kept along updates.
