[Slips-PC]

what does this mean for me? does the service need to record a certain amount of uptime over a certain period, i'm guessing?

[unixfox]

You will need to wait 1 month until your instance is added to the official list.

[unixfox]

@TheFrenchGhosty can you check the instance please :)?

[TheFrenchGhosty]

@Slips-PC The instance doesn't have statistics enabled, please fix it.

https://invidious.slipfox.xyz/api/v1/stats

Other than that, the instance is properly configured and has good uptime.

Are you ready for it to be added to the instance list (after the statistics are enabled)?

[Slips-PC]

@TheFrenchGhosty I will be sure to do that ASAP, which will be probably in a couple hours. After that, yeah, you can add it to the instance list.

[Slips-PC]

@TheFrenchGhosty stats are up. Feel free to add whenever.

[unixfox]

@Slips-PC please update your instance, is it more than one month old.

[unixfox]

Noting here that the maintainer failed again to update the instance.

@Slips-PC

Please double-check that you have configured hmac_key in the config file or INVIDIOUS_CONFIG then restart the instance.

You must set a random generated value for the parameter hmac_key:! On Linux, you can generate it using the command pwgen 20 1.

Instance experienced extended downtime due to issues largely outside of my control, which caused the instance to be removed from the list. Downtime has been resolved so i would appreciate being put back on the list 👍🏼

Hello @Slips-PC,

Last warning before we remove your instance. (First warning was given on matrix)

It has not been updated for a long time (the version is from August 2023).

Hello @Slips-PC,

We have recently released two major tutorials for improving your public instance.

• 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/

We highly recommend you to follow our tutorials because your instance is unfortunately in a state where it is not working well for your users.

If you need help please either ask in the invidious room on matrix or here.
