More on this. I saw this error today:
database locale is incompatible with operating system
I'm using an LXC container version of Ubuntu 24.04 and I imported the database by literally moving /var/lib/postgresql from the old server to the new one.
The old server was on Ubuntu 22.04 and near as I can tell the locale was en_US.UTF-8 or something like that
@gardiner_bryant If you have an sql dump, you might be able to see the expected locales.
Then you can compare with installed locales:
locale -a
If you don't see an expected list of locales, you might be able to use "locale-gen [list of locales]" and "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to get things working.
I would expect to see at least this list:
C
C.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX
Since peertube is based in France, perhaps there would need to be fr_FR.utf8 as well? But that seems unlikely.
Boosting, please update (edit) toot if you figure it out. 🖖
Unfortunately I use managed hosting so I don't have access to these files 😞
You might want to try asking on the forum https://framacolibri.org/c/peertube/38 as that has helped me with PeerTube technical issues in the past.
I wonder if @paige might be able to help as he runs a hosting company for PeerTube instances?
Could ask the PeerTube lead dev @Chocobozzz if they're not too busy?
@kboyd when I check the logs it says "Cannot create move to object storage for <video name>: job creation may have failed or there may be pending transcoding jobs for this video"
But the transcoding completed successfully, at least according to the job queue.
@gardiner_bryant my instance has been having the exact same issue completely out of the blue as of a few weeks ago, with no changes to PeerTube nor my object storage whatsoever 🤔
I haven’t had much of a chance to take a look yet, but I’ll look at it tonight and let you know if I find anything that might be helpful.
