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>

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.

Line 105:

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.

Line 27:

Line 111:

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.

Line 32:

Line 117:

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

Line 37:

Line 123:

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