🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89 ✨

Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.

This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?

Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS 😱

Why?

My current setup:

1️⃣ 5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
2️⃣ 5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).

Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?

I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.

What would you do?

And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

@haslo hey!

yes there are hosting providers - I have no experience with any of them so couldn't recommend.

discovery is a combination of directory (owncast: https://directory.owncast.online/), search engine (peertube: https://sepiasearch.org/) and then diverse fediverse networked communities - one example is #fediwave at https://cal.gravitons.org/ (currently no streams), and simply following hashtags #owncast / #peertube or something specific on fedi: https://mastodon.social/tags/owncast

also, since peertube is geared towards communities, specific peerTube instances are creating circles of similar content:

Tässä Google Workspace -tilauksen lopettamisen kynnyksellä pitäisi päättää, että mitä videoalustaa aikoo käyttää. PeerTube houkuttelisi, mutta osaako joku suositella PeerTube-instanssia, joka olisi myös taloudellisesti vakaalla pohjalla? Bonusta, jos on suomalainen, mutta EU-alueella oleva riittää.

Peertube.wtf vaikuttaa verrattain suositulta. Onko muita hyviä suosituksia?

In the @newyorktimes: 👏🏼

"#ActivityPub has also led to a wave of start-up efforts such as #Mastodon, a microblogging service that now has more than 14 million accounts connected by a network of over 14,000 host computers, as well as start-ups like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube, distributed services that offer features similar to #Instagram and #YouTube."

So, when I follow a Peertube user from my Mastodon-account, and that user publishes a new video, but the video doesn't show up on my Mastodon feed, what's likely to be the cause of that?

It has worked fine for previous videos.
