lol i can’t believe this just worked. XD

falls over i’ve spent MONTHS on this. XD i am LITERALLY completely embarrassed now. XD

i just didn’t think i had that level of control. i kept reading that even if the IDs match it’s not REALLY the same as the host permissions, but this worked just fine. a much simpler solution.

well, thank you for that! still so much to learn.

so, in this case, the internal user is peertube with UID 999.

would i then use that UID, and the GID of the passed render device?

this would be useful but i was never able to figure out how. :/

right, so what confused me is that the basic setup works for owncast, but the same setup not for peertube.

awesome, thanks!

i will give this a go!

edit this worked perfectly, thank you!

thanks!

these aren’t changes i can merge up, and i want to ensure it’s always, ultimately, just pulling the original image with any new changes they make, and then making the changes i need, so i think the other solution is probably the most applicable for this problem.

lol i feel this XD
