Thanks for this! I couldn't get the Websocket to work until I grabbed this code.

Thanks!

La ligne Header always set X-Frame-Options DENY empêche le fonctionnement des iframe.
Si vous voulez autoriser les iframe, il faut donc supprimer cette ligne.

Thanks for your file.
With this configuration, i got several error log lines like this : AH00082: an unknown filter was not added: RATE_LIMIT
Can this be avoided by adding directives ?

it nearly works, i have my certificates made with certbot but apache wont start because he cant find a file, but the file exists. i copy and paste the path and i get a symlink.

sudo apache2ctl configtest
AH00526: Syntax error on line 51 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/peertube.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.cipherbliss.com/fullchain.pem' does not exist or is empty
Action 'configtest' failed.

here, the file exists and is filled with certificates:

sudo ls -larth /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.cipherbliss.com/fullchain.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Dec  2 20:45 /etc/letsencrypt/live/peertube.cipherbliss.com/fullchain.pem -> ../../archive/peertube.cipherbliss.com/fullchain2.pem

 # Hard limit, PeerTube does not support videos > 4GB
  LimitRequestBody 4294967294

The used value is not supported by apache 2.4 reference but you do not get any error.

Die Direktive gibt die Anzahl der Bytes zwischen 0 (unbegrenzt) und 2147483647 (2GB) an, die im Request-Body (Datenteil der Anfrage) erlaubt sind.
