Hello!,
I am following along with the production guide to set up a personal instance of peertube on a FreeBSD 11.1 jail. The first half of the guide went very well, but at the point where nginx is configured I got a little lost.
My changes:
- The version of nginx on FreeBSD 11.1 does not have a
sites-enabled/directory, so I took the default peertube config (/var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube) and replaced the default server{} block in nginx.conf (/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) - I followed a guide (techtalk.blog/simple-and-free-ssl-certificates-using-letsencrypt-and-nginx-530f03aee07) to install a letsencrypt certificate with dehydrate.
- After the installation was finished, all I could get was error 502 “Bad Gateway” when I browsed to the site. So I changed the https port to 9008 in order to not have to use an nginx reverse proxy in front of the peertube machine. Then I forwarded that port directly from the router. That seems to work.
I can now access the site, but cannot log in with the root account and password in peertube.log. There is also a warning that flashes on page load about OAuth. I saw a similar thread (framacolibri .org/t/not-finding-admin-username-and-having-problem-with-nginx/3151/4) here and read it, but was unable to solve the problem from the posts there.
production.yaml:
listen:
hostname: 'localhost'
port: 9000
# Correspond to your reverse proxy "listen" configuration
webserver:
https: true
hostname: 'localhost'
#port: 443
port: 9008
# Proxies to trust to get real client IP
# If you run PeerTube just behind a local proxy (nginx), keep 'loopback'
# If you run PeerTube behind a remote proxy, add the proxy IP address (or subnet)
trust_proxy:
- 'loopback'
# Your database name will be "peertube"+database.suffix
database:
hostname: 'localhost'
port: 5432
suffix: '_prod'
username: 'peertube'
password: 'XXXX'

I’m sure that I have just missed something obvious in setting up the server, and I appreciate any troubleshooting advice you can give me.
Thanks!
