I have a Peertube

I've been looking for a solution for storing and backing up the videos from my YouTube channel.

Then, I found Peertube.

A distributed platform for hosting and sharing videos - similar to Mastodon.

I've found Peertube instances created by other YouTubers like lukesmithxyz and Veronica Explains.

Now my homelab is up and running and I'm self-hosting production services like this website and my Forgejo instance, I wanted to host my own Peertube instance to back up my videos and provide an alternative place for people to watch them.

I'm using NixOS for my homelab, which has options for Peertube, so setting it up was easily.

My homelab configuration is public in my nix-config directory, so you can see how I have configured it.

You can also see the videos on my Peertube at https://videos.oliverdavies.uk.

I plan on doing more videos and live streams soon, which will also be uploaded to my Peertube.
