The PeerTube instance I’ve been using for a long time now is basically closing down all but some users. I understand because they have 1.4TB of videos there. I need a suggestion for re-uploading and uploads for the future.

I like to upload in the highest quality I can, so I understand why I am a problem user. Anyway - if anyone has a suggestion for a PeerTube instance with a large upload allotment please let me know. I don’t want to have to go to YouTube.

I’m kind of desperate here. All of my videos are going to stop being hosted, and attempts to contact the admins have failed (mostly because I’m bad at contacting people on the Fediverse from outside the platform I’m using). The instance in question is https://peertube.otakufarms.com/

    I think the biggest issue your going to have is the 1.4 TB of videos. Thats a significant amount for any one instance for free. If it was less than 100GB then I would suggest something like peertube.wtf . Unless you were willing to donate, im not sure theres a good option for free.

    For example my entire instance of 3 users uses about 100GB of just small videos though a 20 year period. Family stuff and mirrors of videos/channels/instances we find interesting.

    If I was looking at self hosting , I would probably rig up a raspberry pi/mini pc (under 100$) + Yunohost (peertube is stupid easy to install with it) + 5 TB SSD/USB-C. But that would require funds and a bit of knowledge. I can understand if that is a bit out of scope with what you are trying to do.

    GL! Let us know if you find a good instance!
