PeerTube.wtf
peertube.wtf
A PeerTube platform for general use, hosted in northern Europe.

First of all, let me apologize to those people who was affected when PeerTube.wtf initially went down.

I’ve been working this past month on building and setting up a fresh version of PeerTube.wtf and this time, I won’t be relying on decentralized storage 🙃 🙃 🙃

I’ve been reading a couple of threads on Lemmy, to better understand what people want expect to be able to do on a PeerTube server, so here goes:

  • PeerTube.wtf is a platform for general use. Every topic is welcome.

  • The Global Search Index is enabled. This means that the search bar will show results from almost 900 PeerTube servers.

  • Remote URI/handle search is enabled. This means, if you know the URL/handle of a channel, that’s not part of the Global Search Index, you can still find it via the search bar and subscribe to the channel.

  • The Public Index is enabled. This means that PeerTube.wtf will federate with almost a 1000 PeerTube servers.

  • Audio-only, 360p, 720p, 1080p and 1440p is enabled. This means that videos uploaded, is provided in these resolutions.

  • Video transcription is enabled. Will Automatically create subtitles for uploaded/imported VOD videos.

  • Live streaming is enabled. Streams are transcoded in 720p and 1080p at 60 FPS.

  • A user has 100GB of storage. This is obviously not sustainable, but is subject to change.

FAQ

.wtf?

Yea, it stands for “What The Fediverse”. What else could it possibly stand for, that sound as cool?

Where is the server hosted?

It’s hosted in Denmark, at my residence. I have 100% ownership and control over it.

What’s your specs, bro? The server is assembled inside an Inter-Tech 2U-2404S, with a:

  • AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 4 cores
  • 16GB of RAM
  • nVidia Quadro P600 (hardware transcoding)
  • 2x120GB SSDs in raid 1 for OS
  • 2x4TB HDDs in raid 1 for the video storage

4TB of storage ain’t much

That’s true, but I will be upgrading the disks eventually.

Why no 4K??

4K takes a lot of space and the majority of users don’t have a 4K monitor. In the future, it might change.

I’ve probably forgotten something, but yea… Enjoy.

    What was the previously used decentralised storage solution used by your instance ?

    I hope this can be identified as the first approach to a generalist mainstream PeerTube instance; the main issue I’ve found using PeerTube is that I can’t easily find videos from other instances, while here on Lemmy you can have pretty much everything.

    100G per user!? With only 4TB of storage?! Where can I donate so you can get some more storage

      I know a lot of users gets scared away if they see a PeerTube server with a really low storage allowance. If every user used 100GB of storage, those 4TB won’t last for long. But if it can get content creators on board, it’s worth it. I’ve made sure that I can easily expand the storage, when needed.
