Website feature removed

[DavidxDGM]

problem description

I recently did a complete reinstall on my Respberry Pi and wanted to reinstall Cobalt via Docker compose.

After the installation, I noticed that the website no longer exists and the image URL no longer exists in docker-compose.yml.

How can I fix this?

Many thanks in advance.

your instance configuration

services:
    cobalt-api:
        image: ghcr.io/imputnet/cobalt:10
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: cobalt-api

        init: true

        ports:
            - 9000:9000/tcp
            # if you're using a reverse proxy, uncomment the next line and remove the one above (9000:9000/tcp):
            #- 127.0.0.1:9000:9000

        environment:
            # replace https://api.cobalt.tools/ with your instance's target url in same format
            API_URL: "https://api.cobalt.tools"
            # if you want to use cookies when fetching data from services, uncomment the next line and the lines under >            # COOKIE_PATH: "/cookies.json"
            # see docs/run-an-instance.md for more information
        labels:
            - com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.scope=cobalt

        # if you want to use cookies when fetching data from services, uncomment volumes and next line
        #volumes:
            #- ./cookies.json:/cookies.json

    # update the cobalt image automatically with watchtower
    watchtower:
        image: ghcr.io/containrrr/watchtower
        restart: unless-stopped
        command: --cleanup --scope cobalt --interval 900 --include-restarting
        volumes:
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

You don't need to host the frontend anymore, you can use your own instance on cobalt.tools.

https://cobalt.tools/settings/instances

Ah lol. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I only have one problem: I don't have a public (static) IP address. That means that the entire local docker setup is pointless now. Which is a shame.

How do you enable it without web interface ?

[KwiatekMiki]

enable what? (selfhosted) cobalt?

by 'enable' do you mean 'use'?

[conichonhaa]

Yes, web interface disappear between version 7 and 10. After update, i can't reach my self hosted website

[wukko]

you can use your api instance with main frontend instance: https://cobalt.tools/settings/instances#community

Thanks i read it a bit more up in this discussion, but it's that part i don't understand what to do with

[wukko]

just paste the instance url there

[conichonhaa]

Just go it. I paste my URL there
One last question. Do i also have to replace the url in docker-compose.yml or do i leave api.cobalt.tools ?

For the moment i let api.cobalt.tools but i only see that when i load my URL

cobalt":{"version":"10.1.0","url":"https://api.cobalt.tools/","startTime":"1728801652969","durationLimit":10800,"services":["bilibili","bluesky","dailymotion","facebook","instagram","loom","ok","pinterest","reddit","rutube","snapchat","soundcloud","streamable","tiktok","tumblr","twitch","twitter","vine","vimeo","vk","youtube"]},"git":{"branch":"main","commit":"c33017283d20ee9a998b7c19ad5f24fc17bdede7","remote":"imputnet/cobalt"}}

Do i also have to replace the url in docker-compose.yml

yes, you have to replace it or else tunnels (youtube & etc) won’t work

[conichonhaa]

Ok, i replace API URL with my domain name. I'm also under a reverse proxy, i uncomment line 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 and comment 9000:9000/tcp but it leads me to a bad gateway 502 error
