Note: The PeerTube local OAuth client (client_id/client_secret) is auto-discovered by Tiki from /api/v1/oauth-clients/local. No admin input required.

• ...YouTube/Vimeo?
  • No ads or tracking; self-host or choose your instance
  • ActivityPub federation — your channel can be followed across the Fediverse (other PeerTube/Mastodon servers) without relying on one company.
  • Tight Tiki integration — reuse Tiki groups/permissions and keep a consistent UI; embeds feel native and sign-in flows stay within your site.
• ...Tiki File Gallery?
  • Transcoding & adaptive streaming — PeerTube auto-creates multiple qualities and streams via HLS/WebRTC, working well on mobile and slow connections.
  • Federation & analytics — videos can be discovered across instances, with built-in stats (views, watch time) and moderation tools.
  • File Gallery is storage-first — great for keeping files, but it doesn’t transcode, stream adaptively, or federate; for a smooth “watch” experience, use PeerTube.

• HTTPS recommended; default CORS is fine
• PHP cURL enabled
• Docs: PeerTube REST API Reference

Tiki auto-discovers the PeerTube local OAuth client ( client_id/client_secret ) from
/api/v1/oauth-clients/local. These credentials identify the consumer application (the browser) and are public on the instance by design. You do not need to store or enter them manually in Tiki.

API examples (for reference)

# 1) Get local OAuth client (client_id / client_secret)
curl -s https://YOUR_INSTANCE/api/v1/oauth-clients/local

# 2) Exchange for an access token (password grant)
curl -X POST https://YOUR_INSTANCE/api/v1/users/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
  -d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -d "grant_type=password" \
  -d "username=YOUR_SERVICE_USERNAME" \
  -d "password=YOUR_SERVICE_PASSWORD"

• Preference `trackerfield_peertube` is not defined This usually means caches weren’t cleared. Fix: Settings → Tiki Cache/Sys Admin → Clear all caches Or CLI: `php console.php cache:clear`
• Connection Status = error → Check peertube_service_url (with/without trailing `/`; Tiki will add it). Ensure the instance is reachable and not blocked by a proxy/firewall.
• 401 / invalid_grant → Wrong username/password or server clock drift. Sync time (NTP) on both servers.
• 413 / upload too large → Increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size (PHP) plus web server limits (Nginx/Apache). Also check PeerTube’s upload limit.
• “Internal” privacy → Video may not embed in Tiki due to PeerTube privacy rules.
• 413 / upload too large (Tiki + PeerTube) This error may occur even if PeerTube accepts large uploads.Tiki is limited by PHP and web server upload settings.

When using PHP-FPM with Virtualmin, note that:

• Resource Limits values are interpreted in bytes
• E.g. 2 GB must be set as 2147483648
• upload_max_filesize ≤ post_max_size ≤ memory_limit

Required PHP settings example:

• upload_max_filesize = 2G
• post_max_size = 2G
• memory_limit = 4G

Here is an example of how to use the PeerTube plugin (oEmbed under the hood):

{peertube url="https://videos.evoludata.com/w/2aGghaFr12Cg1Nj1ckqznH"}

• PeerTube handles transcoding and adaptive streaming (HLS/WebRTC); Tiki File Gallery is storage-first (not optimized for streaming).
• WebTorrent was removed in PeerTube v6; P2P is now HLS/WebRTC only.
• Always embed using the full watch URL (the /w/shortUUID form).
