The Environment file has a couple of things to think about and that you need to change. 

1. Already on the top we defined the Maximum Video Upload size variable. By default the max upload size is 100MB and hence it is recommended to increase its size. For instance 1 GB which can be expressed by 1000MiB

PEERTUBE_VIDEO_FILES_MAX_SIZE=1000MiB

2. The second thing we need to organize is the Postgres database. As always we just need to create a user, database name and password

POSTGRES_USER=peertube
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=df9j938fje89iojksfskdf93jksdkfj9oijr98ijwfj9io
# Postgres database name "peertube"
POSTGRES_DB=peertube

3. The third thing that needs to be adjusted is the domain name that you want to use for your PeerTube instance. It is important that you are sure about it on beforehand since you cannot change it later, due to the fact that it will participate in the Fediverse.

PEERTUBE_WEBSERVER_HOSTNAME=exampletube.org

4. The next thing are the Email Credentials. By default it uses Postfix, and you can keep this container if you later want to use it. However, lots of people just have standard SMTP server with a domain registrar e.g Porkbun. If you want this then you need to fill in the following information

# E-mail configuration
# If you use a Custom SMTP server
PEERTUBE_SMTP_USERNAME=noreply[at]example.org
PEERTUBE_SMTP_PASSWORD=difficult_password
# Default to Postfix service name "postfix" in docker-compose.yml
# May be the hostname of your Custom SMTP server
PEERTUBE_SMTP_HOSTNAME=smtp.example.org
PEERTUBE_SMTP_PORT=587
[email protected]
PEERTUBE_SMTP_TLS=false
PEERTUBE_SMTP_DISABLE_STARTTLS=true
[email protected]
