Postupdate scripts?

[stevespaw]

Missing Thumbnails after this update. It is mentioned here to run scripts and re-generate thumbnails. Just want to confirm the procedure here...?

Blog post: https://joinpeertube.org/news/release-8.1

IMPORTANT NOTES
You need to manually execute a migration script after upgrading, while PeerTube is running and the database migration is complete (Migrations finished. New migration version schema: 1000 in PeerTube startup logs):
Classic installation: cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.1.js
Docker installation: cd /var/www/peertube-docker && docker compose exec -u peertube peertube node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.1.js
Running regenerate-thumbnails and prune-storage scripts after the upgrade and migration script is highly recommended

This is a question, I may not have been clear -
I assume that the Cloudron update ran the "Migration" script?
We need to do the regenerate-thumbnails and prune storage manually?
What is the best way to run those in Cloudron?

Good question, I did assume it would run those automatically. We have no special code for this in the package itself. On Cloudron peertube runs with environment=HOME="/home/cloudron",USER="cloudron" so to run the specific npm commands use in the webterminal:

gosu cloudron:cloudron npm run regenerate-thumbnails
gosu cloudron:cloudron npm run prune-storage

Did the migration script "peertube-8.1" run as part of the Cloudron update?

[nebulon]

I did assume that on app startup peertube runs those scripts if needed. You can run them again and again afterwards to ensure they ran though to be safe:

gosu cloudron:cloudron node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.1.js

Those probably should be added to the package next time such a script is added, so good you brought that up. I must be blind, but where did you see that initial "IMPORTANT NOTES" warning, clearly that is something we should have seen.

[stevespaw]

That was on the 8.1 release notes. I will try this now...

[nebulon]

Ah indeed I am blind! no clue why I didn't see that in the release tag one!

[stevespaw]

OK, we are back - good thumbnails! (except shared channels from other sites that have not updated yet)

gosu cloudron:cloudron node dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.1.js

gosu cloudron:cloudron npm run regenerate-thumbnails

gosu cloudron:cloudron npm run prune-storage

Thanks for the help!
Now to update all of our sites

Sorry for missing this, will hopefully not happen the next time
