Configuring interoperability with other services

This playbook tries to get you up and running with minimal effort - installing all required services (PeerTube, Postgres, Traefik, etc).

Sometimes, you're using a server to host multiple services. In such cases these are undesirable:

  • this playbook overtaking your whole server (more specifically ports tcp/80 and tcp/443) with its own Traefik instance

  • multiple playbooks trying to install Docker, etc.

Below, we offer some suggestions for how to make this playbook more interoperable. Feel free to cherry-pick the parts that make sense for your set up.

Disabling Traefik installation

If you're installing Traefik on your server in another way:

# Tell the playbook you're using Traefik installed in another way.
# It won't bother installing Traefik.
peertube_playbook_reverse_proxy_type: other-traefik-container

# Tell the playbook to attach services which require reverse-proxying to an additional network by default (e.g. traefik)
# This needs to match your Traefik network.
peertube_playbook_reverse_proxyable_services_additional_network: traefik

All services (among which the peertube-peertube container) will have container labels attached, so that a Traefik instance can reverse-proxy to them. See roles/peertube/peertube/templates/labels.j2 for an example.

Also, refer to the configuring the reverse-proxy documentation page for more information.

Disabling Docker installation

If you're installing Docker on your server in another way, disable this component from the playbook:

peertube_playbook_docker_installation_enabled: false

Disabling Postgres installation

If you're installing PostgreSQL on your server in another way or wish to use an external Postgres server or another type of database, disable this component from the playbook:

devture_postgres_enabled: false

Also, refer to the configuring the database documentation page for more information on using another database.

Disabling timesyncing (systemd-timesyncd / ntp) installation

If you're installing systemd-timesyncd or ntp on your server in another way, disable this component from the playbook:

devture_timesync_installation_enabled: false
