Verifying PeerTube instance ownership on Mastodon

[bristow]

Describe the problem to be solved

On Mastodon, you can verify your ownership of a website by inserting a link to your Mastodon account with the rel=« me » option included.

Is there any way to insert this code on the front page of a PeerTube instance without a custom homepage and only with an admin account ?

I have a link to my PeerTube instance on my Mastodon profile, and it would be nice to make it turn green by using this code.

Thanks a lot 👍

Describe the solution you would like

A simply way to verify an Peertube instance :)

If you're the admin you can add the link to <peertube-latest>/client/dist/$your_locale/index.html.

admin but not adminsys.

And we use Docker...

Hi,

Our custom markdown is able to correctly parse <a rel="me" href=""></a> links. So can add this link in the description of your instance for example, and put /about/instance as path for mastodon if it can parse JS to render the page.

AFAIK, it does not render the verification mechanism does not parse JS:

This issue will probably allow to solve the issue of PeerTube instance verification Mastodon-side:
