ActivityPub

Each PeerTube instance is able to fetch videos from other compatible servers it follows, in a process known as “federation”. Federation is implemented using the ActivityPub protocol, in order to leverage existing tools and be compatible with other services such as Mastodon, Pleroma and many more.

Federation in PeerTube is twofold: videos metadata are shared as activities for inter-server communication in what amounts to sharing parts of one's database, and user interaction via comments which are compatible with the kind of activity textual platforms like Mastodon use.

Federate with PeerTube

TIP

If you have any problem or question about PeerTube federation, don't hesitate to discuss about them on our forum

PeerTube has the concept of video channels (Group actor) that are owned by accounts (Person actor). In ActivityPub, a PeerTube video is created by the account and Announced by the video channel.

To federate videos, PeerTube requires the video to have an attributedTo field that contains a Group actor. The Group actor also contains an attributedTo field pointing to the owner Person actor (see the documentation for more information and examples).

If your video platform doesn't have the concept of channels, we recommend you either:

simulate a Group actor representing your account (automatically adding _channel to your account username example)
put your Person actor as a Group actor in attributedTo that is owned by a global Person actor that would own all your fake channels

Note (comment)

View

View is an activity standardized in the ActivityStream specification (see View Activity).

A PeerTube platform sends a View activity every time a user watched a video so the origin server can increment video views counter.

If the View activity includes an expires attribute, it means a user is currently watching a video. This kind of event is sent periodically until the user stops watching the video. The same View action can be sent multiple times using a different expires attribute, meaning the user is still watching the video.

Supported on

ApproveReply PeerTube >= 6.2

PeerTube implements FEP-5624 draft so users can moderate comments of their videos.

If the video requires comments approval, the Video object includes

json

"canReply": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"

PeerTube sends back an ApproveReply activity to the Note origin server when the comment is approved. The Video origin server also forwards the Note to actors involved in the video.

CacheFile

INFO

This object is not standard to the ActivityPub specification.

The object is used to represent a cached file. It is usually sent by third-party servers to the origin server hosting a video file (a resolution from a Video), to notify they have put up a copy of that file. The origin server then adds the server emitting the CacheFile to the list of WebSeeds for that file so video players can download the video from multiple servers.

TypeScript model: packages/models/src/activitypub/objects/cache-file-object.ts.

Structure

import { ActivityPlaylistUrlObject } from './common-objects.js'

export interface CacheFileObject {
  id: string
  type: 'CacheFile'
  object: string
  expires: string
  url: ActivityPlaylistUrlObject
}

Note

A Note is a comment made to a video. Since most ActivityPub textual platforms use the Note object for their messages, most of them can interact in the same way with PeerTube videos, making them able to comment PeerTube videos directly!

TypeScript model: packages/models/src/activitypub/objects/video-comment-object.ts.

StructureExample

import { ActivityPubAttributedTo, ActivityTagObject } from './common-objects.js'

export interface VideoCommentObject {
  type: 'Note'
  id: string

  content: string
  mediaType: 'text/markdown'

  inReplyTo: string
  published: string
  updated: string
  url: string
  attributedTo: ActivityPubAttributedTo

Actor

An PeerTube Actor can be:

The platform (Application), used to follow other Actor or share anonymous activities like View or WatchAction
An account (Person), used to publish or comment videos, report abuses or create video channels
A video channel (Group), owned by an account and also used to publish videos. The channel is a Group because we plan to have multiple accounts that can manage the same channel in the future

When a video is published, the account sends a Create activity and the channel sends an Announce activity, both referencing the Video object.

A Video object has the attributedTo property to know the Person and the Group that own it.
