Peertube: Unable to start PeerTube in the peertube-dev Docker image / on Janitor

[jankeromnes]

• PeerTube version or commit: latest / b270ad07f13fa4125fbade6208596071329bc92f
• Browser name/version: any
• NodeJS version: node v8.9.4
• PostgreSQL version: psql 9.5.10

When I:

1. create a new PeerTube container on https://janitor.technology
2. then open the "IDE"
3. then right-click on the "Run" button, and choose "Start PeerTube"

I see the following error:

> [email protected] start /home/user/PeerTube
> node dist/server

(node:611) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): SequelizeConnectionRefusedError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432
(node:611) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

• What is the expected behaviour?

It should start PeerTube, and the web preview should work.

I've tried this image locally and observed the following:

• postgresql needs to be started: $ sudo service postgresql start
• then we need to create the database and psql user:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
Enter password for new role: peertube
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev

• then when running the application, I observe the following blocking error:

Cannot install application. SequelizeValidationError: Validation error: "http://localhost:9000/accounts/peertube" is not a valid url.,
Validation error: "http://localhost:9000/accounts/peertube/inbox" is not a valid inbox url.,

I think I got it: peertube must run in production mode and not in dev mode, thus localhost is not authorized in URLs.
