For general instructions (developping plugins, building, installation, ...), please refer to the [Peertube documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-plugins?id=write-a-plugintheme).
You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to this plugin! Other contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and report bugs, you can give feedback, features that you are interested in, user interface, design, ...
If you think there is a missing locale, please check first if it is handled in Peertube.If so, you can [open an issue](https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat/issues) to ask for it.
In theory, the only parts of the backend code where you need localization is the settings declaration and standardized data (ActivityPub, RSS, ...).Here we need to get english strings from the translation key.
It is possible to use certificates validated by a certification authority.However, this requires advanced system administration knowledge.Indeed, due to the multitude of possible use cases, it is impossible to document all situations here.This documentation will therefore only explain the goal to be reached, and give an example which will only be suitable for a "basic" situation (manual installation of Peertube, using letsencrypt).If you are in another situation (Docker installation, certificates signed by another authority, etc...), you will have to adapt this approach by yourself.
If you want to use the ProsodyCtl utility to import certificates, this utility is available (once Peertube is started) using the following command (adapting the path to your Peertube data folder, and replacing "xxx" with the arguments you wish to pass to prosodyctl): `sudo -u peertube /var/www/peertube/storage/plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/prosodyAppImage/squashfs-root/AppRun prosodyctl --config /var/www/peertube/storage/plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua xxx`
If you think of a standard provider that is not available, you can ask for implementation by [opening a new issue](https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat/issues).
