org.joinpeertube.cloudronapp@4.6.7 breaks the app

[luckow]

reproducible on all my instances. seems like something with a plugin.
restore to the latest backup solves the issue.

Hello @luckow
We added a handler for that in the start.sh but it looks like it failed in your case.
Can you provide me the full logfile of your PeerTube so I can inspect it to understand this case?
You might use paste.cloudron.io for the file and can send the link either here or in a private message.

Hello @luckow

Thanks for providing the logs.

You have peertube-plugin-tv-streaming installed, which declares a git-resolved transitive dep that pnpm v11 rejects:

[ERR_PNPM_EXOTIC_SUBDEP] Exotic dependency "@silvermine/videojs-chromecast"
(resolved via git-repository) is not allowed in subdependencies when
blockExoticSubdeps is enabled
This error happened while installing the dependencies of peertube-plugin-tv-streaming@1.2.1
PeerTube 8.1.6 ships pnpm v11, which defaults blockExoticSubdeps to true. v10 didn't.

I reproduced your issue with installing the PeerTube package version 4.6.6, installing the peertube-plugin-tv-streaming and updating to version 4.6.7.

It looks like this is an upstream issue with pnpm https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11799 with a suggested solution that is yet to be implemented https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/11805#issuecomment-4507912313

This issue can be resolved manually by editing or creating the file in /app/data/storage/plugins/pnpm-workspace.yaml with the following content:

dangerouslyAllowAllBuilds: true
nodeLinker: hoisted
blockExoticSubdeps: false

But this leads to the next issue that the installation of a plugin is waiting for a key to be confirmed:

[peer.cloudron.dev:443] 2026-05-23 10:38:01.027 info: Installing plugin peertube-plugin-auth-openid-connect.
The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.121.3)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbpZisF/zLDA0zPMSvHdkr4UvCOqU.
This key is not known by any other names.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

So we need to prevent this as well.
I will look into resolving this issue with an app update.
