PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas

• PeerTube

  409 12,648 9.9 TypeScript

  ActivityPub-federated video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser

> YouTube (and other mainstream providers) solves user stories. The user story is "I want to find and watch interesting videos" and they nail it.

You miss another user story: IT department wants to self host a video distributing platform on their intranet and users need to embed video in intranet CMS (blogs, wikis, etc.) and they will watch those videos at home, at the office and in between places.

Thinking audience and monetization, basically it's thinking "youtube clone", and that narrows outlooks on what peertube brings to the table.

> The user story for this, judging by their homepage (https://joinpeertube.org), seems to be "I want a boring lecture on how bad Big Tech is"?

    What is PeerTube?

• mediacms

  44 2,365 6.2 JavaScript

  MediaCMS is a modern, fully featured open source video and media CMS, written in Python/Django and React, featuring a REST API.

  

How do people rate ease of use, for installing/administrating PeerTube?

Is there a way to install PeerTube that is as easy as MediaCMS [0] installation [1]? I ask because I evaluated options for self-hosted video as far as YouTube replacements. PeerTube is more mature/popular than MediaCMS by far, by the looks of it, but I really wanted "easy" and ended up landing with MediaCMS for now. I just fear for its longevity, but set that aside for now out of lack of options.

If PeerTube can be spun up (single server will do) just as easily, I'd love to learn if it's possible/done. I know this is a tech site, but I do not want to spend time administering and configuring stuff a lot. I want to to just work as much as possible, but self hosted.

I get that PeerTube is maybe much more, but any thoughts on taming (perceived or actual?) complexity related to self hosting PeerTube would be most welcome. Thanks for any thoughts along these lines...
