PeerTube install consistently fails on DO with Errno 21

What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.12
What app is this about: peerTube

Describe your issue

PeerTube was removed from a DO droplet - was working great too - but when I went to re-install via yh, I consistently get an install error. Sometimes the failed install cleans itself up - most often not. I found this: Unable to install Peertube - #4 by agger-magenta and attempted it several times as a solution, but no. I’ve stripped down the DO node to nothing, s/t I have more than 2Gb of RAM available, with more than enough disk, for the install but the error messaging is consistent. I have a running Mastodon instance on the node which is still connected/production which I do not want to lose.

The only other thing I can think of to try is to spin up a new droplet (which is a problem for me long term because cost) and attempt a fresh install just to get my instance back-up and connected but idk what that will prove other than the original droplet won’t allow a new install b/c possibly of remnants from previous installs. (SWAG)

Thanks for listening…

addendum:
I also know now that it’s not a resource issue as I upgraded the droplet, doubling RAM to 8Gb (6.2Gb available at time of install) and I was rewarded with the same error message

So. Is there a list of apps that yunohost will successfully install and run?

because, as I grind through the options, I’m discovering that most of these apps will not do either or both.

If you do manage to get something successfully installed, then you can’t login with your admin account

Is this a known issue with digitalOcean droplets?

Failed to Install List:

Peertube
pleroma
hubzilla

Found a solution to just the above issue - you cannot be logged into the Yunohost gw and the service (pixelfed, mastodon, etc.) at the same time b/c of a browser cache conflict

Heya,

I’ve given-up on peertube and replaced it with Pleroma.

Thanks anyway!
