Hello! Your instance has been added to our monitoring system:

• uptime robot: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn/796647930
• updown: https://updown.io/kq8n

You need to wait 30 days before we add your instance, this is to evaluate that your instance will keep a good uptime for one month.

Make sure you double checked all the mandatory checks or this will slow down the process of adding your instance!

Please consult these two important tutorials:

• Escaping the YouTube block (403 errors in playback): https://docs.invidious.io/ipv6-rotator/

• Improving the performance and the stability of your public instance: https://docs.invidious.io/improve-public-instance/

It is highly recommended to follow these tutorials because it will allow the instance to stay stable and performant over the long term.

Please consider joining the Matrix room for public instance maintainers by joining our Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#invidious:matrix.org
then pinging @ unixfox, @ TheFrenchGhosty and @ SamantazFox for asking to be invited to the Matrix room.
We discuss troubles managing a public instance, sharing some advices and more.

[warioishere]

ah shit, I've been waiting 30d to post this here because I read about the waiting time. Didnt know the 30d starts now.
If you wanna add the server right now, you can, it has been up since a month now with no downtime.

grettings

[syeopite]

Hmm. It'd probably be a good idea for us to clarify that on the template and instance rules.

[warioishere]

maybe hehe, additional info: running the docker version with 6 instances up restarting all in different intervals.

[bugmaschine]

@warioishere Got an update on ipv6 rotation?

[unixfox]

User say that he can't do ipv6 rotation using classic ipv6 rotator because his hosting provider does not support it.

[bugmaschine]

The only problem I see with it, is that Google is going to ban his IP someday which will become a problem

[warioishere]

I know, I was not checking ionos if they allow ipv6 rotation. I can only set ipv6 adresses manually. @unixfox suggested me to use the ionos api to asign new IPs from time to time. But I dont know how to do that because I am not an IT guy. Just hobby networker and hobby server admin.

Ill check docs of ionos if I manage to do this.

[perennialtech]

@warioishere Do you have any updates on implementing IPv6 rotation on your instance?

If you're still having issues with Ionos, it may be worth considering switching to a different hosting provider with better IPv6 support, or if that's infeasible, using a tunnelbroker for IPv6 connectivity.

[warioishere]

as I've read on invidious docs, its not suggested to use a free tunnelbroker because it puts a lot of strain to their servers. As i pay already 16Euros per month for this server, I dont wanna spend further money because it would be too expensive for me at all to now buy another tunnelbroker service.
I have no ideas how to use the ionos api to change the IP adress by a script I could run.
I will write ionos tomorrow if they can gimme a hint if this is generally possible via api to request new ipv6 adresse periodically. For me, i dont udnerstand much reading those docs and I've no idea how to do, arrange or create this:

https://api.ionos.com/docs/activitylog/v1/#tag/Data-centers/operation/datacentersPut

[warioishere]

do you guys have an hint for a hoster that supports free ipv6 asignments? Maybe I'll check costs and rent another one.
Unless someone helps me with the apis, I cant make this to work.
maybe @perennialtech ?
base in germany would be best

[perennialtech]

@warioishere Most Invidious instances in Germany are hosted on Hetzner or Netcup. They support IPv6 /64 subnets IIRC and don't cost much, so they might be a good choice.

[warioishere]

bought something on netcup, shuting down the old instance, will let you know when I am ready

problem solved, wrong permissions of /opt/http3-ytproxy

[warioishere]

@unixfox anything that I am missing that noone of you replies? I run already two servers now, one was for nothing.
Additional info for docs, maybe you could add info for providers that support ipv6 rotations and people are not renting servers for a year for nothing
