That's weird. The peertube service doesn't start at all.

That's weird. The peertube service doesn't start at all.

Just ran into this on my NixOS server too. It's on the nixos-24.05 channel. With kernel 6.6.53 the Peertube service would start, but the process would just hang (I assume something node related). No info in journalctl, no info in peertube logs at /var/lib/peertube/storage/logs. Reboot did not help. No indication as to what the problem was. I did spot the odd kernel panic, don't have logs unfortunately. So I tried a newer kernel by setting boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxKernel.packages.linux_6_11 and everything just worked fine again. Weird.

Something's broken in kernel 6.6...

I think someone found the cause. - #353709 (comment)
