A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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.

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 element on an HTML page.

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.

I just started using Clipable recently and it's pretty neat, it's basically a self-hosted clone of streamable.com

You could check out MediaCMS. I have no idea how lightweight it is compared to PeerTube but something to try.
