On April 15, 2018 a discussion on video hosting kicked off in FSCI matrix channel<blockquote>[https://matrix.to/#/!OBbDJnCnZhQiNQBIcG:matrix.org/$1523784221394MzkgE:poddery.com?via=matrix.org&via=poddery.com&via=tchncs.de raghu kamath]: i am planning to host these videos on my website too, and also provide links to files and video files used | |||
raghu kamath: <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xau4v8OXRyY&list=PLFDnlFYBM_7W9s6TrHBVvAuDE_u8jg0bO</nowiki> | |||
raghu kamath: Also i was searching for an peer tube instance in india | |||
pavi: Someone big should host it. Video is expensive and I wouldnt recommend FSCi do it | |||
shirish: if anybody knows and has the skillsets, let me know and we can try and figure out. | |||
shirish: probably even hamara couldn't handle it , it would need quite a bit of cache for it work. | |||
shirish: end of network kind of thing. | |||

Pirate Praveen: @pavi: I think scaleway.com accounts have unmtered bandwidth | |||
Pirate Praveen: to scale, it will use p2p | |||
Pirate Praveen: <nowiki>https://firedragonvideos.com/videos/watch/f669c599-99b0-4b71-9a52-941e509632a7</nowiki> I started using this instance of peertube | |||
[...back and forth with pavi about domain name length] | |||
Pirate Praveen: @pavi: peertube dot co.in is still available, if we want to host | |||
Pirate Praveen: @raghukamath: if you are interested, we can try setting up one | |||
pavi: too expensive IMHO. Does anyone have big cash? | |||
pavi: Maybe we can start a funding drive and see how it goes. | |||
Pirate Praveen: @pavi: well, the whole point of peertube is that, the server need not take all the load | |||
pavi: Yes I know. I am still concerned. | |||
Pirate Praveen: we could start with 3 euro per month plan on experimental basis for a few months | |||
Pirate Praveen: and decide to continue or not later | |||
pavi: Wow does it work for peertube?? I am surprised. | |||
Pirate Praveen: @pavi: why not? | |||
Pirate Praveen: yes, disk space is going to be an issue | |||
pavi: @Pirate Praveen: Maybe I am too dumb to learn about the rendering capabilities of a decentralised video server. | |||
Pirate Praveen: @pavi: it is just bandwidth + storage | |||
Pirate Praveen: yes, there is a component of video transcoding too | |||
[...some more back and forth about technicalities] | |||
pavi: Lets go for it, I can sponsor a server. Someone buy the domain name.</blockquote> | |||

Pirate Praveen: @raghukamath: we can run our own if we have some more volunteers | |||
Pirate Praveen: currenty its just too few people running to many services | |||
Pirate Praveen on June 20, 2018: if anyone would like to volunteer to setup a peertube instance, let me know. even if you are new, we can mentor you with basic system administration</blockquote>The discussion channel at https://app.element.io/#/room/#videos.fsci.org.in:poddery.com was created on June 20, 2018 by Pirate Praveen with Harish, pavi, and raghu kamath as members.<blockquote>[https://matrix.to/#/!HgZrJcfVBiMhneKiUv:poddery.com/$1529490063827hwvAz:poddery.com?via=poddery.com&via=matrix.org&via=librem.one Pirate Praveen]: lets run it for a few months on trail basis | |||

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. | Although unfortunately I don't have much time and relevant expertise to support this, I can very much support this financially.

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.
