Dedicated PeerTube

Frequently asked questions

How does access management work?

For individuals: Only you can access your account and channels. The name of your PeerTube account is not necessarily the same as your account on our member area.

For an organization: each person in your organization will have his or her own account and will be able to create channels. Only the people you have designated internally will be able to access your installation.

For security reasons, you do not have administrator rights to the PeerTube installation, even if it is dedicated to you. That said, you can ask us to change some settings for you; see the next question.

What settings can be changed on the dedicated installation?

As this is your installation, you have access to a wider range of configuration options.

By default, we’ll configure your installation as ours, but if you have any special, somewhat technical requests that you’ve identified in the PeerTube configuration file, you can ask us to modify this configuration.

For example, by default, your instance will be connected to the federation, which allows people from other social networks (e.g. Mastodon or other PeerTube instances) to interact with your content: putting likes, posting comments… But you can also request to disable the federation on your installation.

What plugins are available?

Currently, only two plugins are installed: a plugin for authentication with our members’ area, and a plugin to add a configurable chat room during live streaming sessions.

However, even if this is your instance, we have no plans to add any plugins other than those we initially installed, although you can always suggest some; we’ll consider your request on a case-by-case basis, but expect us to decline for reasons of security and maintainability of the installation. If you need more control over your settings, you’re free to host your own instance.

What is the moderation policy of this service?

Even if it’s your instance, La Contre-Voie is still the host of your content: you can set your own rules, but you still have to abide by our moderation policy.

In the meantime that we establish a moderation charter worthy of that name, we can already inform you that all content hosted on the PeerTube installations we host must comply with our general terms of use, to which the following rules are added:

• we reserve the right to delete :
  • any content that is insulting or degrading to others because of their gender, beliefs, disability, appearance or any other characteristic ;
  • any content that is pseudoscientific or that we consider misleading or deceptive;
  • any content that violates the privacy or fundamental rights of others;
  • any form of incitement to hatred or participation in the harassment of others;
• adult (18+), lewd or obscene content is not permitted under any circumstances.

If these conditions do not suit your needs, we invite you to look for other hosts who could accommodate you.
