Hello !

I’m a self hoster of a lemmy art instance. I would like to have the possibility to make informative videos, for example how do you do large flat areas in watercolor or how does this paper holds up etc.

I guess those videos would be minutes long and seen maybe dozens of times per year (or decade), that’s why I would like to try to self host them (I have a ~700Mb up line) but good luck searching for it or my google-fu (Duck duck go fu…) has totally left me.

I would love to integrate it with lemmy but I’m not there yet (haven’t even compiled the sources) so some sort of web serving would perfectly do.

Any idea of where to start off? FOSS would be lovely off course:-)

Thank you !

      Oh man, I checked out Peertube and it’s amazing! Obviously overkill for my needs, but it seems like a really good platform (and it’s from France, yay!).

      Only worry I have, will my instance “mirror” other I stances? I’m confident sharing videos because I know they won’t be looked at very much, but with a sort of decentralized cache system it could be costly (in bandwidth).

        Peertube won’t mirror any content from other instances and it won’t even list any if you don’t federate with any servers. Then it’s just your little bobble with your videos where people can play them on the site.

          Okaay yeah that seems completely obvious when you think about it. I was a tee worried you’d have to like block everything everything :-)
