@QOTO ... you probably are already aware of the fact that the certificate for https://video.qoto.org/ expired on Nov 1 2018 ... right?
Anything I need to know about?
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?
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

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
@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.
