			Can we terminate the test installation of peertube instance which is running @ <nowiki>https://videos.fsci.org.in</nowiki> ?

			I am summarizing my thoughts behind this question below.

			# Majority of the community is doen't seems to be instrested in this service. there is only one person from this community have tested this service so far. If this is a unnecessary service, we should not waste resource on this.
			# if everyone think that this is a necessary service for fsci, then we should move this instance to a "production infrastructure" with better reliability and computing resources. Currently, it is running from one of my personal VPS instance.

FSCI runs a Peertube instance at <nowiki>https://videos.fsci.in</nowiki> which hosts a few videos <nowiki>https://videos.fsci.in/videos/local?a-state=42</nowiki>.

FSCI's Peertube instance hasn't been updated since probably when it was setup back during COVID times. It's running v2.2.0, while latest Peertube is v5.2.1

It cost ~5.09 euro per month.

Do we want to keep the instance around as it involves costs and need full planning to bring to latest version.</blockquote>In the poll the responses were:<blockquote>Snehal Shekatkar: Keep videos.fsci.in around and plan to update

Although unfortunately I don't have much time and relevant expertise to support this, I can very much support this financially. So I would like to keep it going. If someone is also willing to teach me somewhat, I might try to intermittently take care on the server side.

Pirate Praveen: Keep videos.fsci.in around and plan to update

If we find new volunteers, we should keep. I think we should keep the poll open for longer (1 week at least and even 2 weeks) and ideally ask around more widely for volunteers before we shut down. Unless we ask explicitly for help people outside the community won't know we need help.

Tanzeem Mohammad Basheer: Keep videos.fsci.in around and plan to update

Need to update and add videos frequently. Steps should be taken to make the instance more publicly available

Raju Devidas: Sunset videos.fsci.in

Unless we/someone else are actively/intermmitently using the service, we better sunset the service to actively focus on used services.

Akshay: Keep videos.fsci.in around and plan to update

I volunteer to update it. But I have no opinion on cost of maintenance. Alternatively we can just keep a static archive of the videos in some server.</blockquote>The poll was unfortunately settled only on September 14, 2025 with outcome to update. <blockquote>Pirate Praveen: @Akshay are you still interested in updating peertube?

Akshay: @Pirate Praveen Oh, I don't remember what happened here. I think I volunteered because there were a couple of videos of mine present. I think the same logic applies. I don't have a comment on cost, but I can keep it updated. If it is being sunset I can do the static archive too. Will do later this week</blockquote>
