How to get started with hosting your DTube videos on IPFS easily!

in DTube4 years ago


In this video, I will be showing you the easiest way to get started with hosting your own DTube videos with IPFS. Hosting your own videos is a great way to have more control over your videos, and it ensures that your videos are playable on DTube indefinitely as long as your node (or other nodes with your video pinned) is online. All you need is a computer with enough storage to contain all your videos. It should be online 24/7 and connected to a reliable internet connection.

Want the benefits of self hosting but find it difficult to maintain your node? Check out our IPFS hosting service!

Thanks for posting this.

Excellent job buddy, working on getting my system setup so I can submit all the files I want to my IPFS directly rather then trying to use alternatives.... curious is there a way of submitting files from a device external from my home network or would I need to setup my own person type uploader? Thinking use case for downloadable files and everything.

You have to run your own uploader to communicate with the IPFS daemon (and/or siad) remotely. It will be a security issue to expose the IPFS (and/or Sia) API directly.

That may be a tool people will pay for our hosting services for 🤔 if they paying why not allow to host whatever they wish?

What do you mean? Our uploader is DTube specific. vaultec's IPFSCloud project is meant for general file hosting.

Thinking that we could include some form of access to storage like what is being developed but for general purpose hosting... I know we are DTube specific but some may wish to offer downloads and what not also which they could ensure file integrity by self hosting 🤔 if they are paying why not give more options and tools is all I’m thinking for our paid service.
