Usage¶

We host your PeerTube instance at a URL like: https://peertube.your-server.com — just replace your-server.com with your actual server domain, and open the URL on your browser. Welcome to your PeerTube instance!

Optional S3 storage¶

PeerTube supports S3-compatible providers, which allows it to store its content (audio/image/video/etc.) in an object storage system like Amazon S3 or another S3-compatible object storage providers like Backblaze B2, Storj, Wasabi, Digital Ocean Spaces, Cloudflare R2, etc.

Moving media files off of the server’s local filesystem and into an external storage (the S3 storage system) allows you to free up disk space on the server and effectively gives you infinite storage (for a relatively-cheap price).

See this page for details about how to choose the Amazon S3 compatible object storage provider which suits your needs and set it up for the service.
