Problems with federation (Peertube)

[cocam123]

@scooke everything is exactly like you.

Also for Mastodon, you should try to put the link (of the account you want to follow) in the search bar. Search them on mastodon.social (it's the easiest way)

I won't stray too far from the subject (which is Peertube)

@cocam123 said in Problems with federation (Peertube):

@scooke I don't think it would do any good. First of all, Peertube doesn't have to be on the root domain (I'm on peertube.mydomain.com and the server I'm reaching, where the federation works, is on video.theirdomaine.org)

It's not that the PeerTube app itself has to be on the root domain, it's that on Cloudron something has to be installed on the root domain.

[cocam123]

@jdaviescoates mmm but my domain is configurated on Cloudron? (I'm confused)

[scooke]

@cocam123 If you have peertube.mydomain.com for peertube, then you need an app on mydomain.com on the same Cloudron, is what @jdaviescoates and I mean.

[jdaviescoates]

Yes, exactly. You'll see that in the docs about well known it repeatedly mentions "Requires app on bare domain" https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#well-known-locations

But as you've pointed out PeerTube isn't shown in well known settings so that's probably an issue too!

@staff I think we need well known config adding for both PeerTube and Pixelfed

[cocam123]

@jdaviescoates well, I already have my website on the main domain so I think it's all good on this point

[jdaviescoates]

@cocam123 great, that part is sorted then. I think perhaps the issue is the lack of well known settings

[cocam123]

yea idk. I will wait until the staff reply

I think the ActivityPub federation is different from Matrix federation. The well known stuff is mostly for matrix and not for ActivityPub afaik.

But the setting is there for Mastodon

[cocam123]
