Migration to object storage fails due to missing configuration for captions

[toontoet]

Describe the current behavior

I followed the instructions here: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/remote-storage#peertube-settings to migrate my video from the local file system to object storage.

When I tried to move a single file using the CLI, the video segments were transferred, but a message appeared on the video page stating that the file was still being transferred.

After some investigation, it turned out that the migration process had not been completed because no “captions” bucket had been defined. I added the captions bucket to the configuration and then the migration went smoothly.

I had to manually reset the status of the migrated videos to 1 to remove the message.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use object storage configuration as is documented
2. Migrate a single video that contains captions

Describe the expected behavior

I would expect an error if the configuration is missing.
I would expect the migration proces not to stall

Additional information

• PeerTube instance:

Oup's, thank you! I updated the documentation: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/remote-storage#peertube-settings

I would expect an error if the configuration is missing.

Unfortunately it's difficult for us to detect such misconfiguration because we inherit values of default.yaml, where a default bucket is already defined.

I would expect the migration proces not to stall

I agree, and will investigate.

Not sure whether to open a new issue -- this is also linked to my previous Issue #7057.

After adding configuration for object storage, auto-generated captions are not displaying in the GUI. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I missing something else in config?

• Video uploads successfully
• I get the usual message in the GUI that captions have been auto-generated
• I open the captions to edit them, but in the GUI it's totally blank -- looks like the file has been generated but it appears empty.
• I was able to manually write in the captions, and it is saved to Object Storage.
• On a second video, I checked the Object Storage captions file before trying to edit in the GUI, and it has been auto-generated. It just won't display in the GUI.
