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.
What are you trying to play? Most internet connections should play 1080p instantly.
If the browser has to download the entire video before playing, the video isn't being transcoded properly. Might need flags like -movflags +faststart
Jellyfin would work for that too.
No matter which solution you end up just make sure you have no compromises on security.
I like it, I'm already running Jellyfin on my home server even, so I know how it works. I'll spin up another instance on my cloud server. Cheers.
You have so many options here If you only need one way video. You just need to be able to serve from your house and password protect it.
You could use a video app like Plex, emby, jellyfin,
You could actually host a next cloud or a WordPress securing the site with nginx or Apache.
What you choose is just going to be a matter of how secure vs how convenient.
I just started using Clipable recently and it's pretty neat, it's basically a self-hosted clone of streamable.com
Not to completely hijack this, but I’ve also been looking for a video platform for a private community. I want my friends to be able to upload too, but I’m not interested in federating or having anything public. Peertube seems great but I’m not sure it’s what I need.
I think Nextcloud Memories would actually work quite well. It has the added benefit of allowing comments on photos/videos, collaborative albums (could act as playlists), great timeline for viewing history, favorites, public/private sharing, tagging, metadata editing, downloading, and quite a bit more.

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
ffmpegcommand to transcode into a web-safe format, and then just throw in a element on an HTML page.save
