Me 6 months ago: hmmm PeerTube looks really interesting but I don’t understand how I can use it. Do I have to create a new account? Pick an instance? But which one? Nah, too complicated, I’ll check back some other time.
Me today: oh YunoHost has PeerTube in its list of apps. Maybe I’ll host my own single-user instance! 🤗

I would like #peertube to succeed...
But I don't know how that is possible.
My community TV station (c44.com.au) run a "streaming" service for a few years, and we have tried a few hosting sites..
...every time what killed us was bandwidth costs. Any remotely successful programs blew the cap for the month.
I don't see how you can avoid that.

If Yunohost offers the service of hosting Peertube instances it offers a platform (or something like that).

That said, languages evolve and devolve, apparently.
I consider this a devolution due to real life use by the "users".

in reply to mʕ•ﻌ•ʔm bitPickup • • •There is a podcast software for the activityPub web that can host audio and video and is build for the use in shared hosting environments. Haven't seen it on yunohost on a first glimbs. Depending on you skills and actual circumstances that can be another option to host video.
friendica for example doesn't fit for shared hosting, I guess peertube neither. Can't remember the podcats software (APP) name right now but it's out there.

in reply to mʕ•ﻌ•ʔm bitPickup • • •I believe @Castopod is the podcast software that has activityPub and RSS capabilities, can host video and can be installed on a standard shared hosting.
It figures on yunohost too:

It’s soooo easy to use, even for a total newbie. I would 1000% recommend it

in reply to Nicholas R • • •@nicholasr I have a basic VPS plan – 4 GB of memory, 4 TB bandwidth, 50GB disk space.
The resources I'm using so far with GoToSocial and Phanpy are minimal...
Nicholas R
in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •thanks for sharing the resources you are using. 🙂 That gives me some ideas
We have a #k8s cluster that hosts a number of app including our Mastodon app. I was hoping we could get it to run there.
We also have some ARM based devices so we can do some testing...

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •thanks for mentioning #GoToSocial
github.com/superseriousbusines…
I see it is written in #Go and #Typescript. I doesn't surprise me it is resource friendly 🙂
Also, I had not heard of #Phanpy. This is an interesting #Mastodon web client.

Out of curiosity, is it using a lot of resources?

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •I spent some time looking for VPS prices now. This is really tempting! Last time I was checking, the VPS prices were quite higher. But with 1-3€/Month it's really not worth the effort to have a raspi at home.
Thank you Elena for bringing that back to my mind. An own peertube-instance just for my own stuff would be quite tempting
Elena Rossini ⁂
in reply to Franz Graf • • •@hikingdude thank you Franz. Indeed, a VPS can be pretty affordable these days.
I was nervous at the idea of having an always on Raspberry Pi as a home server. I have routine micro-outages at home (internet-wise), so that was not an option.
A VPS gives me peace of mind, especially when I'm traveling

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Following my latest poll (asking you to vote on the next Fediverse project I will cover), I will test #PeerTube and publish an article about it next month on #TheFutureIsFederated.
I’m just rethinking logistics: I may join an existing instance (and donate to it to support server costs).
Why? While backing up my #GoToSocial account I noticed the backup file ballooned from 280MB to 7.7GB after just one week of use (😱). I need to be mindful of resource usage for my #VPS.
#NoAdvice needed thx 😅

in reply to shom 🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚✊🏽 • • •@shom in YunoHost you can backup any module but not pick and choose inside them. So you could decide to only backup GtS but not Phanpy or other apps you’ve installed… I hope it makes sense!
And I LOVE it so far, would highly recommend it

I found the initial video
And then its most recent upload live-reviewing of version Peertube version 7
both helpful in understanding it overall.
