    Thanks for the info! The PeerTube Companion add-on works a treat, was looking for something like that. What are the requirements to run a PeerTube instance? Like how much bandwidth and disk space should you expect it to consume?

    lol, Lemmy’s automatic link formatting gets confused here, because of the /c/ in PeerTube links

    Yes I noticed that too, it even happened when I used the actual link markup which is weird. I should try to find where to report such issues…

      Thanks for the info!

      You’re very welcome, and genuinely glad I could help.

      That can vary quite a lot, depending on what you aim at. Personally, I am running this on a dedicated Server from Hetzner, because I wanted to go all-in and also teach myself about more complex hosting stuff along the way., but it can be as cheap as just running it from a Raspberry Pi from your home: Here is a great video about that. It is still very scale-able even with a setup like that, because of the WebTorrent protocol utilized reducing demand on the server even when a video on your server ends up going viral.

      I really have to make a GitHub account myself again for reporting stuff like that, too (I haven’t used mine in ages and completely forgot even which Mail I used for it) - but that is usually the appreciated way for projects like that, here’s an example:

        Thanks for that, I watched the video from Linux Renaissance, it filled in a few gaps for me! Now all I need is something to post videos about 😄
