I recently tried to update PeerTube. After attempting the install, which failed, Yunohsot removed the application and now I can neither restore my PeerTube back or nor do a clean install of PeerTube.
Any help much appreciated!

Try this to reinstall peertube in a broken state
```auto
yunohost backup restore peertube-pre-upgrade1 --no-remove-on-failure
```
Then you will need to edit a service file.

Then `ls -la /opt/node_n/n/versions/node/ `will show the latest nodejs 22.x version installed on your system.
In the peertube service file you will need to replace 22.22.2 with the version you found above.
```auto
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
# Replace 22.22.2 with 22.22.?
# Reload systemd and restart peertube
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart peertube
```
Can you share the log of the failed _upgrade_ ?

Thanks for the quick response! I followed the instructions and updated the Nodejs config to version 22.2.3. It seemed to restore PeerTube (At least it then appeared back in the applications list). However when I tried to open it, I was taken to a Welcome To NGINGX page.
I then tried to update, which then failed. However, it then reverted to the back up properly and appears to be working. However I haven’t tried the upgrade for fear of breaking again.
Here’s the log for the failed upgrade and it’s still being flagged as a vulnerability in system diagnostics. It looks like PNPM is still a problem.
## Upgrade the ‘peertube’ app

You are not the first to hit this issue but it takes differents flavours …
This issue and some way to fix it is here [Upgrade 8.1.5 –\> 8.1.8 failed : pnpm v10/v11 · Issue #549 · YunoHost-Apps/peertube\_ynh · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh/issues/549)
problem is that dependencies of plugins are collected by pnpm in node\_modules and if pnpm version change it tries to use existing node\_modules directory that is not organised the same way with newer pnpm version. The quickest way to resolve it is to move away the node\_modules content and leave install to repopulate it.
