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.
Jellyfin would work for that too.
No matter which solution you end up just make sure you have no compromises on security.
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.
You could check out MediaCMS. I have no idea how lightweight it is compared to PeerTube but something to try.
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.
