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:
5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
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:

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."

I wonder how much progress the #fediverse could have and grow in quality if the @EUCommission could seriously fund good non-profit projects that already make an interoperable web possible: @Mastodon , @pixelfed , @pleroma , @peertube , @gotosocial etc.
There are talks about BILLIONS of euros to rearm Europe, which seems justified to me. But it seems that no one puts on the table how to seriously address the problem of disinformation campaigns that undermine democracies. I found the EU project EU vs Disinfo https://euvsdisinfo.eu/, but they didn't dare to create at least a profile here.
Let's perpetuate the cycle of walled gardens run by cool tech bros and their profit seeking businesses. It is very comfortable.
@peertube I love PeerTube's plugin system. Like so much about #PeerTube, it's slick, user-friendly, and technically impressive. The selection of plugins is great, too. Special shoutout to @John_Livingston's livechat plugin.

A great conversation by the co-founders of #fedihost in #Montreal #canada the #fediverse managed hosting provider about monetizing, or more accurately, sustaining these services. It would take a lot less than you probably think.

#PeerTube has a powerful plugin system allowing admins to customize their platform.
Either to add a live chat, or for defining a different transcoding resolution, plugins open up new possibilities for your PeerTube platform!

(It's still transcoding at the moment, but it will be there!)
Dear Fediverse, I am looking for a super simple streaming tool that is just as brilliant as OBS, but only for the use case of streaming a presentation (yes pptx is still dominant ).
But webcam on, select presentation..and GO GO GO!
There may be a config button on it.. but for the stimulation of more (live) broadcasting via PeerTube that is not a USP. it has to be simple above all! 95% of the use cases in my opinion.
