Hello!
I hope that you are doing well.
I tried to install peertube on my vps a few days ago.
I have this error :
The discussion must continue here.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance
On the github discussion, your last step was to re-install yarn.
So you have to do this again:
cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
Thank you for your answer
I did it.
I have this yet:
yarn install v1.22.15

Have you tried restarting the peertube service ? systemctl restart peertube.
If this does not work, check the status with systemctl status peertube. Or read the journal with journalctl -feu peertube.
When you did the installation, have you carefully follow each step? Have you checked the dependencies guide (it is the very first step in PeerTube documentation and refers to PeerTube documentation) ?
With the journalctl, I have this error:

So it comes from the nginx file
What should I do ?
Logs says that peertube cant connect to the redis server.
Check that you have installed the redis server.
Check that it is running (systemctl status redis).
Check the peertube config files (production.yaml). The file must have the correct configuration in the redis server.
Read carrefully the documentation, and check if you missed something else (postgres server ?)
I haven’t installed redis. This was not mentionned. Should I do ? Why ?
Many thanks in advance
I have an idea that might help.
Is it a new VPS with nothing else running on it? In that case, if you just like to start using Peertube, install Yunohost on your VPS and then use the Yunohost manager to install Peertube.
That way, I only had a problem to find my password before I could start posting videos.
Even if you already installed some other services on your VPS, but not with loads of data, I would suggest having a look at Yunohost. It is a very friendly system with an active community.
I haven’t see this on this guide:
Yet, I installed it and I start again all the services.
I have this in the journalctl:

If you try to connect to Redis manually, does it allow connections? On my instance, running telnet:
# telnet localhost 6379
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
Does that work for you?
Thank you for your answer.
Yes, it works with telnet, I have this:
debian@vps-ba5d339e:~$ telnet localhost 6379
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
I just notice: we both have this line,
::1 is IPv6. Your log says 127.0.0.1 is not answering, ie, IPv4. Does that also work for you? Try adding -4 to telnet:
# telnet -4 localhost 6379
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
I have the same:
debian@vps-ba5d339e:~$ telnet -4 localhost 6379
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
I’m out of ideas.
You could try to increase Peertube logging to debug, maybe that writes some more information to the log about what exactly is happening.
fraco@myhost:/var/www/peertube$ cat config/production.yaml | grep debug
level: 'debug' # debug/info/warning/error
At debug, journalctl gives me a whole bunch of SQL when starting Peertube, some smtp-resated information, but, scanning the log, no Redis related lines.
Would Yunohost be an option for you, or is getting things running part of the fun?
I change something in the nginx file because there was a conflict with another domain and it works!!
https://video.maxime-luce.fr/
Thank you very much!
Now I add my instance and try to launch videos
Have a great evening!
Wohoo! Have a lot of fun, I’ll check back later to see the growing video library 
The first step of the guide, in bold, is: «Follow the steps of the dependencies guide.».
Check the dependencies again. It’s not because Peertube started that you won’t have any problem (for example if you have not installed ffmepg, you won’t be able to add videos).
