@QOTO ... you probably are already aware of the fact that the certificate for video.qoto.org/ expired on Nov 1 2018 ... right?

Anything I need to know about?

@iLikeAltitude @QOTO @freemo Freemo has been dealing with some RL injury stuff, and needs to get the certificate updated. It's "On the list".

Thank you for letting us know, though. :)

He was also working on having peertube to authenticate against the mastodon instance, to have a single login using LDAP... I think that feature is about to be shipped with peertube, is that right?

@iLikeAltitude @QOTO @freemo

@arteteco The big issue is doing the LDAP with **existing users**. I can very easily setup LDAP but we would all loose our accounts. I can also set it up without LDAP where each service requires a different username.

What is very hard is figuring out how to export the existing users and passwords from the database to an LDAP server to migrate seamlessly.

With that said i can just bring up the servers without LDAP till i figure it out but then I might be digging the hole deeper.

@freemo

afaik you can export the user list from mastodon to LDAP but not the password, as the hashing is different.

My take on the matter:

If you plan to implement other stuff here, like pixelfed a forum and such, it would make totally sense to just import the users and force everyone to reset the password, with proper warning a month before and banner in the home page.
Is a rather minor inconvenient for a single login, really.

If you only plan on having mastodon and peertube then we can live with separate logins.

I'd still go for option number 1

@Surasanji @iLikeAltitude @QOTO

edit: grammar

@arteteco Agreed, that seems like the best way to get it all without completely destroying the user accounts. I;ll look into LDAP today and if i can export the users successfully and automate the import into LDAP I'll make it official. You still interested in helping, I can set you up with some admin privilages and we can try to tackle it together
