Hello there.
I just wanted to share a recent discovery.
I was on the lookout for a self-hosted video hosting solution to host the tutorials I have and to share videos with family and work. I looked everywhere, and the only solution that suited me was MediaCMS. I’m exclusively using Docker for my self-hosted setup, and let me tell you that MediaCMS was a real pain in the ass to set up. Worse, it kept breaking over and over, and when you’re just a beginner hobbyist like me, it was simply unsustainable. Don’t get me wrong: MediaCMS is a great piece of software, but unless you run it barebones I guess, it is broken and desperately lacks support (at least for Docker).
So my journey continued, searxing, browsing awesome selfhosted, and trying every option I could get my hands on (honorable mention to Gerbera).
The other day, I was desperate and decided to ask Mistral what solutions it knew of. It was the only source that mentioned ClipBucket.
I tried it, encountered issues, posted them on GitHub, and two days later, their Dockerfile and setup instructions were updated. Communication was flawless, and the team is really great.
So please, give ClipBucket a try. Star them on GitHub, and show them some support. They deserve it!
Have you heard of peertube?
It’s slightly overkill for your purposes but it is basically a self-hosted Youtube with a similarly nice UI and everything.
