<p>By using global index of instances and auto-subscribing there are problem by removing from your instance following because it comes back after next sync.</p>
<p>This filter is middleware to collect removed instances and list global index without them</p>
<p>Source code is available on <a href="https://g.arns.lt/zordsdavini/peertube-instance-index-filter">g.arns.lt/zordsdavini/peertube-instance-index-filter</a></p>
<p>App can be called directly and do management in console. For now it is the only way.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>peertube-instance-index-filter -command index -url https://instances.joinpeertube.org/api/v1/instances/hosts -instance-url https://instances.joinpeertube.org/api/v1/instances</code> - add url to index of hosts. Later it will be used to collect instances</li>
<li><code>peertube-instance-index-filter -command collect</code> - collect instances from index of hosts urls</li>
<li><code>peertube-instance-index-filter -command reject -host www.example.com</code> - reject instance from index to exclude it from global index</li>
