Peertube: "TypeError: objs.map is not a function" when trying to install PeerTube

[Booteille]

What happened?
I followed steps to install PeerTube but once I had to run the command sudo systemctl start peertube I got an error from NPM:

/var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-v1.2.1/dist/server/initializers/constants.js:705
Mar 07 21:44:53 vps567347 peertube[23256]:     return objs.map(obj => {
Mar 07 21:44:53 vps567347 peertube[23256]:                 ^
Mar 07 21:44:53 vps567347 peertube[23256]: TypeError: objs.map is not a function

Steps to reproduce:

• Just follow steps indicated on the installation guide.

Additional information

• PeerTube version or URL: 1.2.1
• Server name/version: Debian 9
• NodeJS version: 11.10.1

Please paste the redundancy section of your config file

redundancy:
  videos:
    check_interval: '1 hour' # How often you want to check new videos to cache
    strategies: # Just uncomment strategies you want
#      -
#        size: '1GB'
#        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)

It should be

redundancy:
  videos:
    check_interval: '1 hour' # How often you want to check new videos to cache
    strategies: # Just uncomment strategies you want
#      -
#        size: '1GB'
#        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
#        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
#        strategy: 'most-views' # Cache videos that have the most views
      -
        size: '1GB'
#        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
        strategy: 'trending' # Cache trending videos
#      -
#        size: '10GB'
#        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
#        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
#        strategy: 'recently-added' # Cache recently added videos
#        min_views: 10 # Having at least x views
