Over all: excellent experience! I found it remarkably easy to install but i haven’t yet had to tackle with updates. From what i have picked up in the documentation, the process for upgrades seems pretty straight forward.
First time i use postgres to be honest so in terms of performances, i have yet to do some tuning i’d suppose. But peertube runs super smooth so far. It does require a lot of disk space. Especially if you want to serve several different resolutions. My server is a 4 core 4gb ram VPS, it runs a bunch of other services and averages at 0.65. I don’t have many users, let alone active users in a vlog-sense if you like, but IIRC, you can set the maximum resource consumption for ffmpeg, so would i have that type of users, it would be fine as is, probably just hell-a-waiting times to generate the copies in other resolutions and have a full disk after a couple of weeks lol. I really find myself wishing the thing came with support for #DAT, #scuttlebut, #IPFS and the likes of distributed upcoming content delivery networks. 🌮
The social features have a very small part in the interface. But it’s clever! A video is a toot with a link. replies to that toot are comments, stars are up-votes. (Not sure what a down-votes represents in that protocole 🤔) You can follow and intereact with a peertube account pretty much seamlessly over acitivity pub. Although I think moderation could become time consuming for admods on a larger user-base, but i don’t really have experience with those situations. The fact you can share content from a specific instance through your own instance is pretty neat in terms of cross-pollinating communities.
Look at this wall of text! 🤣 And i can think of more! Maybe i should compile it further somewhere… if i do i’ll ping you! I hope it made sense!
Are you looking into installing one yourself?
