[Fixed] Getting a lot of "Too many requests" warnings on peertube.wtf (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi. I'm getting a lot of warnings when opening peertube.wtf. I'm logged in to my peertube.wtf account.

When I open the frontpage, four errors pop up in the bottom right, all with the same message:

Error in channel miniature component. Too many requests, please try again

When I try to open anything like my notifications or subscriptions, more errors will pop up. Sometimes I have to refresh multiple times for it to work. That's counterintuitive, because I'm creating even more requests by refreshing multiple times.

I've gotten used to it by now, but I thought I report it here. Maybe it can get fixed.

Edit: Using Firefox 139.0.4 on CachyOS (Arch)

Edit 2: It's fixed

I'm sorry I haven't responded until now. I had forgotten all about the post, until @[email protected] made a comment.

I've have tried and is still trying to troubleshoot the issue. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the setup of my reverse proxy and said proxy making it look like visitors are visiting from the same IP.

As you can see in the screenshot, PeerTube thinks its public IP is 192.168.1.1, which is obviously not correct. I'm using Nginx Proxy Manager as my reverse proxy, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Thanks for looking into it. Sadly I don't know how to fix it either.

Might want to message the admin.

I think it comes simply from it being a really popular instance that @[email protected] runs mostly out of pocket - that fact that it works at all as well as it does is a testament to the resilience of the platform. Seeing .wtf struggle was one of the main reasons I decided to rent and add my own server to the Fediverse.

If you want to help them out with the resources - they are on Liberapay!

I think it's because of my reverse proxy setup. It makes all visitors have the same IP address, making PeerTube rate limit.

I think I figured out what the problem was. It was because of rate limits. When you load https://peertube.wtf/home, that shows all the channels, it makes 45 requests alone because of the number of channels on the page. The rate limit was set to 50 (default). I've put it at 250 requests per 10 seconds. I think that should be enough.

Please test it out.
