Hello,
Is the /var/lib/peertube/storage/plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/
directory writable for the peertube
user?
Did you see that the livechat plugin is packaged for Nix? Have you tried this package? https://github.com/ngi-nix/ngipkgs/tree/init/peertube-plugins/livechat/pkgs/by-name/peertube-plugin-livechat
I'm not familiar with NixOS (I only heard about it), so i don't know if there are some restrictions to overcome.
The ngipkg
spontaneously compiled correctly with no explanation despite it failing multiple times previously.
So, could we consider this issue as closed? (for now...)
If you have troubles again, maybe try to ask the maintainer of the peertube nix package. There might be some specifics with NixOS that i'm not aware of. And if you have some solution, feel free to share (here, or even by making a pull request on the documentation: https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat/blob/main/support/documentation/content/en/documentation/installation/troubleshooting.md )
Yeah, it's fair to call it closed. I dunno what was up. Probably just some stateful stuff that disappeared when I was messing around with something. Not clear what, but it's working now. No clear solution, despite it working, unfortunately.
Describe the bug I'm running PeerTube on my NixOS server. I logged in, downloaded the plugin, and used every combination of settings and was never able to get the livechat plugin to work. It just shows a loading pinwheel, or tells me the chat doesn't exist with certain settings.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior I expected to see a chat box that I, and viewers, could interact with.
