@vinyll Great!

Edit: I just noticed your instance is still affected by the CSS issue of the main post (IE: links are blue, but switching to dark theme, and switching back to light theme fixes it).

(PS: if you want to test it yourself, the browser where I can reproduce it in a consistent way is Basilisk)

I'm going to start using it on invidious.kavin.rocks, BTC's taking a long time to confirm right now, I'll let you know how it goes once I set it up.

[vinyll]

Getting my hands dirty on this and keep it posted here.
Thanks ;)

@TheFrenchGhosty Following to the documentation to update with master branch I can't get ./invidious -v to display the current version, getting 0.20.1-cce6db4 instead.

Clearing out first:

$ rm ./invidious
$ ./invidious -v
bash: ./invidious: No such file or directory

Getting the latest version

$ git pull
$ git log
commit 68552b6d6539792f59b901e222fc08999dcfc696 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

Updating based on the doc:

$ for i in `git rev-list --reverse --abbrev-commit $currentVersion..HEAD` ; do file=./config/migrate-scripts/migrate-db-$i.sh ; [ -f $file ] && $file ; done
$ shards update && shards install

Using lsquic (2.18.1-1)

Building and checking the version again:

$ crystal build src/invidious.cr --release
$ ./invidious -v
{
  "name": "invidious",
  "version": "0.20.1-cce6db4",
  "branch": "master"
}

[vinyll]

Nevermind, I removed my manual installation and switched to a Docker. #lazyme

It's now at version Current version: 2020.12.07-68552b6 @ master, don't you dare say that's outdated :p

My docker logs are trailing continuous lines such as:

It looks like trying to load data from Youtube, getting errors 500 and blocking my server.
Contents are empty on the interface.
I guess I need to wait for the instance to collect data and pray not to be fully blocked.

[TheFrenchGhosty]

@vinyll Your instance IP is blocked, you need to setup anti-captcha: https://github.com/iv-org/documentation/blob/master/How-to-setup-Anti-Captcha.md (or capmonster iv-org/invidious#1256 (comment) but I don't think any public instance is running that (@unixfox is yewtu.be running it?))

PS: keep it updated please, I don't want to receive other issues because it's months outdated.

[unixfox]

If you start using capmonster please notify me because I'm interested to check if it works great due to the fact that it is cheaper and doesn't involve any human at all.

[FireMasterK]

Seems to be working great but wow Invidious chugs captchas.

[TheFrenchGhosty]

@vinyll Any news?

[vinyll]

The site is up again and working with a recent release.
Search and play work just fine. Ex: https://tube.connect.cafe/search?q=inviduous

[TheFrenchGhosty]

@vinyll The video pages still display "Could not extract video info. Instance is likely blocked." did you actually setup anti-captcha?

(by the way, it's outdated, again)

[vinyll]

It says it's using Current version: 2020.12.07-68552b6, that's one week old, right?
I don't think I would update more often than monthly unless it would get to break or there is some good reason and tooling to automate.

Good to know you still see the "Could not extract video info. Instance is likely blocked.", I do get the home, search and video playing just fine and I hardly get feedbacks from the outside but you.
I guess the captcha is still the way to go then.

[vinyll]

I guess I can reply to myself for the first part (in case anyone is interested as well):
https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater permits to update easily. It could probably be run automatically through a cron task. (checking for autoselecting an option for updating without a prompt)

[vinyll]

Alright, it should be good by now:

• anti-captcha is setup through https://api.capmonster.cloud with credit purchased
• update is running daily at 5am UTC through a cron job

https://tube.connect.cafe is running as expected on my side so let me know if you meet any issue.
