I like making videos from family holidays and events and such, and I obviously don’t want to put that on YouTube.

So I’d like to host something to upload these videos to, and then share links with family.

Is PeerTube the thing for this?

Looking for something lightweight and not too complicated.

    You could look at owncloud / nextcloud. You can create folders and share them (read-only) to family members or even read-write so other people can upload their videos.

      I found that streaming videos from nextcloud doesn’t really work well. I don’t really know about other services to self-host videos like that, though.

    Jellyfin would work for that too.

    No matter which solution you end up just make sure you have no compromises on security.

    PeerTube would definitely work for that.

    Although it might be a bit overkill, especially if you’re the only one that will be uploading videos. If you want to go with a super lightweight setup, just find a good ffmpeg command to transcode into a web-safe format, and then just throw in a <video> element on an HTML page.

    Not to completely hijack this, but I’ve also been looking for a video platform for a private community. I want my friends to be able to upload too, but I’m not interested in federating or having anything public. Peertube seems great but I’m not sure it’s what I need.

      Although it would also be great if my friends could help seed the videos so I don’t have to provide all the bandwidth.
