Theme search causes message "Plugin index is not available"

PeerTube
1

I’m trying to alter the theme on my PeerTube instance through Administration > Plugins/Themes and then selected Themes and Search.

However, this just produces the message « The plugin index is not available. Please retry later. »

How do I install a new theme?

2

hi! I also got this issue, I wondered if you solved it? thanks!

3

Did you just install your Peertube instance?
Peertube scans plugins and themes every 12 hours by default (see check_latest_versions_interval in your production.yaml). I guess this could happen when the first indexing is not done yet.

4

ohh thank you. that is likely the issue. appreciate your help!

Maybe Peertube could index plugins on first startup? To provide a better user experience for new admins.
I opened a feature request: Index plugins/themes on first startup, for better user experience for new admins. · Issue #6411 · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub

hi! after more than 24 hhours the plugin/theme search does not work. is it possible the indexing has not occurred?

the production.yaml shows 12 hours for check_latest_versions_interval, so it ought to have indexed by now.

thanks

Do you have errors in PeerTube logs?

the logs output these lines when accessing the plugin search:

if there is a config flag I have to add it will have to wait, I am importing my previous account which may take a day or so.

12

Yes, you need to update the level in the peertube configuration: PeerTube/config/production.yaml.example at develop · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub

Then restart peertube.

Do you have a proxy or a specific network rule that forbid out HTTP requests on your server? I can’t see your instance request on the plugin index.

13

ok well I will add the config changes when this account import is complete.

there should not be a proxy or http limitations, however there may be an error with my nginx config? that is one idea maybe.

thanks for the support.
