WORKAROUND: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/830#issuecomment-425942717

Hi
PeerTube is failing for some users on some vps with YunoHost 3 (Debian Stretch). I am unable to reproduce it on my VPS.

The error happens after yarn install --production --pure-lockfile --silent --cache-folder /var/cache/yarn/. Here is the failure log.

This is an OVH Debain Stretch related issue. On other VPS its working. Someone using OVH VPS on Debian Stretch can confirm it?
I am not able to reproduce this on my home server and other VPS.

[Chocobozzz]

We don't really support n. But maybe it is a default shell issue? (/bin/sh: BASH_XTRACEFD : 7 : valeur non valable pour un descripteur de fichier de trace

What is the output of echo $SHELL when you are in the peertube user shell? (or user used by yunohost)

[liberodark]

Have try :

`root@ns376866:~# echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

`

[filmaidykai]

no idea what is going on but all problems with gyp and OVH that is a problem I install this script on contabo vps was fine online.net perfect couple of vps from oneprovider was cool but all problems coming when Im trying to install this scrip on Soyourstart and how I can see one of the guy trying to do the same on kimsufi vps

[ZTzha]

the same problem for me，how can i solve it

[franckhomer]

Hi, same problem for me, some idea?

[Chocobozzz]

~If someone gives me an access to this kind of vps, I can try to see what happens (see my email in my profile).~

EDIT: done by @anmol26s

[anmol26s]

Any update on this?

[Chocobozzz]

I sent you an email @anmol26s:

Sorry, but I couldn't get it to work 

I don't know why it does not find the `nan` package. It doesn't make any sense. Since we can install peertube directly from the CLI on this server without any issue, maybe it's one of the yunohost function called above yarn install that breaks on a OVH VPS? I don't know...

Sorry not to be able to help more.

[anmol26s]

Sorry,these big companies put emails in spam. I got your email.
Thanks for looking into it.

Temp Fix for Yunohost. Will require manual steps to be executed in ssh.

Many people are facing nodejs and yarn install issues while installing from the shell scripts in some VPS and dedicated servers(mostly OVH). I don't have solution for this right now. So if you still want to install peertube over yunohost on these servers, I have done a branch which just install the sources and put folders in right place. It means you will need to do few steps manually to make peertube to work over yunohost. Remove script will work normally.

Steps for installing

1. Install nodejs

   $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
   $ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
   

2. Install the peertube with OVH fix branch.

   $ yunohost app install --debug https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh/tree/ovh_fix

3. After installation is complete run yarn install .

   $ cd /var/www/peertube && yarn install --production --pure-lockfile

4. Give proper permissions to peertube

   $ chown -R peertube:peertube /var/www/peertube

5. Restart peertube and check if there is any error message.

   $ service peertube restart
$ journalctl -feu peertube

6. If there is no error in red in the last lines of log. Press ctrl+c to stop the logs.
7. Go to your domain to check if peertube is running and everthing is ok.

8. Change your root password by this command:

   $ cd /var/www/peertube && NODE_CONFIG_DIR="/var/www/peertube/config/" NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root

Username: root
password: created in above step

Great Thanks, it's working

1244

but some fix :

• chwon -R peertube:peertube /var/www/peertube to chown -R peertube:peertube /var/www/peertube
• cd /var/www/peertube && NODE_CONFIG_DIR="/var/www/peertube/config/" NODE_ENV=production /opt/node_n/bin/npm run reset-password -- -u root to cd /var/www/peertube && NODE_CONFIG_DIR="/var/www/peertube/config/" NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root

Closing because I don't think it's a PeerTube bug.

@anmol26s I edited your issue to link to your workaround for people who will still encounter this strange bug.
