Relaunching PeerTube.wtf
-
Would be nice if you could share sometime in the future how bandwidth heavy Peertube is for your setup.

First of all, let me apologize to those people who was affected when PeerTube.wtf initially went down.
I've been working this past month on building and setting up a fresh version of PeerTube.wtf and this time, I won't be relying on decentralized storage
I've been reading a couple of threads on Lemmy, to better understand what people want expect to be able to do on a PeerTube server, so here goes:
-
PeerTube.wtf is a platform for general use. Every topic is welcome.
-
The Global Search Index is enabled. This means that the search bar will show results from almost 900 PeerTube servers.
-
Remote URI/handle search is enabled. This means, if you know the URL/handle of a channel, that's not part of the Global Search Index, you can still find it via the search bar and subscribe to the channel.
-
The Public Index is enabled. This means that PeerTube.wtf will federate with almost a 1000 PeerTube servers.
-
Audio-only, 360p, 720p, 1080p and 1440p is enabled. This means that videos uploaded, is provided in these resolutions.
-
Video transcription is enabled. Will Automatically create subtitles for uploaded/imported VOD videos.
-
Live streaming is enabled. Streams are transcoded in 720p and 1080p at 60 FPS.
-
A user has 100GB of storage. This is obviously not sustainable, but is subject to change.
FAQ
.wtf?
Yea, it stands for "What The Fediverse". What else could it possibly stand for, that sound as cool?
Where is the server hosted?
It's hosted in Denmark, at my residence. I have 100% ownership and control over it.
What's your specs, bro?
The server is assembled inside an Inter-Tech 2U-2404S, with a:- AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 4 cores
- 16GB of RAM
- nVidia Quadro P600 (hardware transcoding)
- 2x120GB SSDs in raid 1 for OS
- 2x4TB HDDs in raid 1 for the video storage
4TB of storage ain't much
That's true, but I will be upgrading the disks eventually.
Why no 4K??
4K takes a lot of space and the majority of users don't have a 4K monitor. In the future, it might change.
I've probably forgotten something, but yea.. Enjoy.
for general use
So every third video is going to be a beheading or medical gore?

I checked and it doesn't seem to be

Ah, right. Nvidia.
I am kinda thinking about using Peertube with an Intel Quicksync capable CPU, which seems to be a bit more complicated.
What about it is more complicated? The experience with qsv has always been easier IMO for anything transcode, and I (maybe mistakenly) thought it used ffmpeg for that under the hood?
FWIW, qsv does all my Jellyfin transcoding like an absolute champ, which is why I'm surprised and curious.

I am still looking into it but it seems like the Peertube hardware transcoding extension does not support Quicksync by default and you need to use some fork or so.

I don't seem to be able to login, it tells me my password and username/email is incorrect.
Do we have to make a new account because the server is new or am I just running into some kind of error?
Also where can we best see updates about this peertube instance is here on Lemmy good or will they be through peertube or is there not really any solid plans for this yet?
I really appreciate the work going into this it seems like peertube.wtf has the goals in mind that I want out of a YouTube alternative!

I love the concept of decentralized storage and look into a bunch of em all the time yet I've never stumbled upon Sia.
What made it shite for video?
It was a hit and miss if the video would actually load and running the Sia software took a lot more system resources that I would care for.

That shouldn’t be more complicated.

I’ll let you know

It just means the server doesn’t have a general theme or topic. No gore.
Does the gTLD make you think otherwise?

Unfortunately you have to register your account again.
I’ll probably post here on Lemmy, but also via the broadcast function in PeerTube.
Possibly also a Mastodon account at some point.

Lol
Usually when a server allows anything, it collects the things other systems block.
-
Cool. Can you configure it so that one can easily connect with an external Matterbridge to it?
I’ll look into it.
-
I already had some experience using the P600 with Plex.
It’s essentially just installing the nVidia drivers, install the HW transcoding plugin for PeerTube and then select the nvenc transcoder in the settings.
There’s some extra steps if using Docker or a VM.
Quick question: do you know if multiple hardware accelerators can be used in parallel? Like a Intel Quicksync and a Nvidia card, or two Nvidia cards etc?

I think this is possible with the Remote Runners. You could setup two Runners on your machine, each configured to use GPU1 and GPU2 fx.

Ah, good idea. Thanks for the link.

"general use" =/= "allows everything"

Monetization does not align with the principles of the Fediverse imho. Donations can help, but I don't believe that's sustainable either. I can do this because I have the time and the money. I wouldn't recommend doing this, if you had to rely on donations or monetization.

I would think many servers that accept donations don't rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.
