distribution of exchanges on the network. Moreover, the federation protocol

that support it, such as <a href="@:data.link.mastodon">Mastodon</a>! (experimental)

title: How it works
|

text:
|
||
- Everybody can host a PeerTube server we call <strong>instance</strong>. Every
|
||
instance hosts its own users and their videos. It also keeps a list of the
|
||
videos available of the instances the administrator chooses to follow in order
|
||
to suggest them to its users.
|
||
- Every account has a globally unique identifier (e.g. @chocobozzz@framatube.org)
|
||
consisting of the local username (@chocobozzz) and the domain name of the
|
||
server it is on (framatube.org).
|
||
- The administrators of a PeerTube instance can follow each other. When your
|
||
PeerTube instance follows another PeerTube instance, you receive the videos
|
||
preview informations from this instance. This way, you can display the videos
|
||
available on your instance and on the instances you decided to follow. So
|
||
you keep control of the videos displayed on your PeerTube instance!

||
text:
|
||
- Servers are run independently by different people and organizations. They
|
||
can apply wildly different moderation policies, so you can find or make one
|
||
that fits your taste perfectly.
|
||
- By watching a video, you help the hosting provider to broadcast it by becoming
|
||
a broadcaster of the video yourself. Each instance doesn’t need much money
|
||
to broadcast the videos of its users.

title: What is PeerTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- PeerTube is software that you install on a web server. It allows you to create
|
||
a video hosting website, so create your "homemade YouTube".
|
||
- The difference to YouTube is that it’s not intended to create a huge platform
|
||
centralizing videos from the whole world on a single server farm (which is
|
||
horribly expensive).
|
||
- On the contrary, PeerTube’s concept is to create a network of multiple small
|
||
interconnected video hosting providers.
|
||
pros:
|
||
title: The three main advantages of PeerTube.
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'PeerTube is unique because (as far as we know) it’s the only video hosting
|
||
web application which combines three advantages:'
|
||
- Linked together, these three features makes it easy to host videos on the
|
||
server side, while remaining practical, ethical and fun for the internet users.
|
||
list:
|
||
- An open code (transparency) under a free/libre license (ethic, respect and
|
||
community-driven development);
|
||
- A federation of interconnected hosting providers (so more video choices wherever
|
||
you go to see them);
|
||
- Peer-to-peer broadcasting – and therefore viewing – (so no slowing down when
|
||
a video becomes viral).
|
||
libre:
|
||
title: Why is it better as free/libre software?
|
||
text:
|
||
- Because by design free/libre software respects our fundamental freedoms, and
|
||
guarantees them by <a href="@:data.link.gitPT/blob/develop/LICENSE">a license</a>,
|
||
so a legally enforceable contract.
|
||
- 'Concretely here, it means that:'
|
||
list:
|
||
- PeerTube is freely provided, no need to pay to install it on your server;
|
||
- 'We can look under the hood of PeerTube (its source code): it’s auditable,
|
||
transparent;'
|
||
- Its development is community-based, it can be enhanced by everyone’s contributions.
|
||
federated:
|
||
title: What’s the interest to federate the video hosting providers?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'The advantage of YouTube (and other platforms) is its video catalog: from
|
||
knitting tutorials to Minecraft constructions through videos of kittens or
|
||
holidays… you can find everything!'
|
||
- The more the video catalogue is varied, the more people are interested, the
|
||
more videos are uploaded… but hosting videos from all over the world is (very,
|
||
very) expensive!
|
||
- If the hosting provider Knitting-PeerTube becomes friends with Kittens-Tube
|
||
and Framatube, it will display the videos of others on its site, thus diluting
|
||
hosting costs while remaining practical and complete for Internet users.
|
||
- 'PeerTube’s federation protocol will be fluid (everyone can choose their "friends"
|
||
hosts), and based on <a href="@:data.link.activitypub">ActivityPub</a>: this
|
||
will open the possibility to connect with tools like Mastodon or MediaGoblin.'
|
||
p2p:
|
||
title: Why broadcast PeerTube videos through peer-to-peer?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'When you host a large file like a video, the biggest thing to fear is success:
|
||
if a video becomes viral and many people watch it at the same time, the server
|
||
has a big risk of getting overloaded!'
|
||
- Peer-to-peer broadcasting allows, thanks to the <a href="@:link.wArticle/WebRTC">WebRTC</a>
|
||
protocol, that Internet users who watch the same video at the same time exchange
|
||
bits of files, which relieves the server.
|
||
- 'There is nothing to do: your web browser does it automatically. If you are
|
||
on a mobile phone or if your network does not allow it (router, firewall,
|
||
etc.), this function is disabled and switches back to an "old-style" video
|
||
broadcast @:data.emoji.wink</>.'
|
||
admin:
|
||
title: For those who know how to administer a server, PeerTube is…
|
||
text:
|
||
- '<strong>It’s software you install on your server</strong> to create a website
|
||
where videos are hosted and broadcast… Basically: you create your own "homemade
|
||
YouTube"!'
|
||
- There already exists free/libre software that enables you to do this. But
|
||
with PeerTube, you can link your instance (your video website) to Zaïd’s PeerTube
|
||
instance (where he hosts videos of the lectures for his people’s university),
|
||
to Catherin’s (who hosts her webmedia videos) or even to Solar’s PeerTube
|
||
instance (who manages a vloggers collective).
|
||
- '<strong>But PeerTube doesn’t centralize: it federates.</strong> Thanks to
|
||
the <a href="@:data.link.activitypub">ActivityPub</a> protocol (also used
|
||
by <a href="@:data.link.mastodon">the Mastodon federation</a>, a free/libre
|
||
Twitter alternative), PeerTube can federate several small hosters so they
|
||
don’t have to buy thousands of hard disks to host videos for the whole world.'
|
||
- As a result, on your PeerTube website, the audience will be able to watch
|
||
not only your videos, but also videos hosted by Zaïd, Catherin or Solar… without
|
||
having to host their videos on your PeerTube-powered website. Such diversity
|
||
in a video-catalog makes it very attractive. Such a large choice and diversity
|
||
of videos is what made centralized platforms such as YouTube succesful.
|
||
- 'Federation offers another benefit: <strong>everyone becomes independent</strong>.
|
||
Zaïd, Catherin, Solar and yourself can make your own rules, your own Terms
|
||
of Services (for example, one can imagine a MeowTube where dogs videos are
|
||
strictly forbidden @:data.emoji.wink).'
|
||
video-maker:
|
||
title: For those who wants to upload their videos, PeerTube allows…
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'It allows you to choose a hoster that fits you. YouTube’s excesses are a
|
||
good exemple: its hoster, Google/Alphabet, can impose its "Robocopyright"
|
||
(the ContentID system) or its tools to index, recommend and spotlight videos;
|
||
and those tools seem as unfair as they are obscure. Even though, it already
|
||
forces you <a href="@:data.link.tosdr">to give it extended copyrights on your
|
||
videos, for free</a>!'
|
||
- With PeerTube, <strong>you can choose the hoster of your videos according
|
||
to his terms of services</strong>, his moderation policy, his federation choices…
|
||
As you don’t have a tech giant facing you, you might be able to talk with
|
||
you hoster if you ever have a problem, a need, or something you want.
|
||
- The other big advantage of PeerTube is that your hoster doesn’t have to fear
|
||
the sudden success of one of your videos. Indeed, PeerTube broadcasts videos
|
||
with the protocol <a href="@:link.wArticle/BitTorrent">WebTorrent</a>. If
|
||
hundreds of people are watching your video at the same time, their browsers
|
||
automatically send bits of your video to other viewers.
|
||
- Before this peer-to-peer broadcast, successful videographers (or videos that
|
||
make the buzz) were doomed to be hosted by a web giant whose infrastructure
|
||
can handle millions of simultaneous views… Or to pay for a very expensive
|
||
independent video host so that it can hold the load.
|
||
audience:
|
||
title: For those who want to watch videos, PeerTube can offer…
|
||
text:
|
||
- One of the benefits is that <strong>you become a part of the broadcasting
|
||
of the videos you are watching</strong>. If other people are watching a PeerTube
|
||
video at the same time as you, as long as your tab remains open, your browser
|
||
shares bits of that video and you participate in a healthier use of the Internet.
|
||
- 'Of course, PeerTube’s video player adapts to your situation: if your installation
|
||
does not allow peer-to-peer playback (corporate network, recalcitrant browser,
|
||
etc.) video playback will be done in the classic way.'
|
||
- But above all, <strong>PeerTube treats you like a person, not as a product</strong>
|
||
that it has to track, profile, and lock in video loops to better sell your
|
||
available brain time. Thus, the <a href="@:data.link.gitPT">source code</a>
|
||
(the recipe) of the PeerTube software is open, making its operation transparent.
|
||
- '<strong>PeerTube is not only open-source: it’s free (as in free speech).</strong>
|
||
Its free license guarantees our fundamental freedoms as users. It is this
|
||
respect for our freedoms that allows Framasoft to invite you to contribute
|
||
to this software, and many evolutions (innovative comment system, etc.) have
|
||
already been suggested by some of you.'
|
||
remplace-yt:
|
||
title: Is PeerTube’s purpose to replace YouTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'We can answer with certainty: no!'
|
||
- In March 2018, PeerTube released its publicly usable beta version. Several
|
||
collectives set up the first instances, thus creating the bases of the federation.
|
||
- But this is just the beginning, PeerTube is not (yet) perfect, and many features
|
||
are missing. We intend to continue to improve it to release a version 1 by
|
||
the end of 2018.
|
||
- 'March 2018 thus represents the birth of the PeerTube federations: the more
|
||
this software will be used and supported, the more people will use it and
|
||
contribute to it, and the faster it will evolve towards a concrete alternative
|
||
to platforms such as YouTube.'
|
||
- 'Nevertheless, the ambition remains to be <strong>a free and decentralized
|
||
alternative</strong>: the goal of an alternative is not to replace, but to
|
||
propose something else, with different values, in parallel to what already
|
||
exists.'
|
||
content:
|
||
law:
|
||
title: If it’s free, can we upload illegal stuff on it?
|
||
text:
|
||
- Being free doesn’t mean being above the law! Each PeerTube hosting provider
|
||
can decide on its own general conditions of use, abiding by their local laws.
|
||
- For example, in France, discriminatory content <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_contre_le_racisme_et_les_discours_de_haine">is
|
||
prohibited</a> and may be <a href="http://stop-discrimination.gouv.fr/agir/ne-pas-laisser-faire-les-recours">reported
|
||
to the authorities</a>. PeerTube allows users to report problematic videos,
|
||
and each administrator must then apply its moderation in accordance with its
|
||
terms and conditions and the law.
|
||
- The federation system, for its part, allows hosts to decide with whom they
|
||
want to connect, depending on the types of content or the moderation policies
|
||
of others.
|
||
responsible:
|
||
title: Who is responsible for content published on PeerTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'PeerTube is not a website: it is software that allows a web hoster (for example,
|
||
Dominique) to create a video website (let’s call it DominiqueTube).'
|
||
- Now imagine that Camille has created an account on DominiqueTube and uploads
|
||
an illegal video, because this video uses music created by Solal.
|
||
- Solal goes on Framatube, an instance which follows DominiqueTube. So, Solal
|
||
can see, from Framatube, the videos published on DominiqueTube.
|
||
- Solal sees Camille’s illegal video, and signals it with the button provided
|
||
for that purpose. Although the report is made from Framatube, it is sent directly
|
||
to the person hosting the illegal content, Dominique.
|
||
- From that moment on, Dominique is responsible, because they are warned that
|
||
they’re hosting an illegal video. It is therefore up to them to act if they
|
||
don’t want to be held accountable before the law.
|
||
- Then Dominique and Solal can turn against Camille, who uploaded the video.
|
||
money:
|
||
title: What is PeerTube’s remuneration policy?
|
||
text:
|
||
- OrderedDict([('There are none, not at the moment', 'PeerTube is a tool that
|
||
we wanted neutral in terms of remuneration.')])
|
||
- 'For now, the solution proposed to people who upload videos is to use the
|
||
"support" button under the video. This button displays a frame in which people
|
||
who upload videos can display text, images, and links freely. For example,
|
||
it’s possible to put a link to Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, Liberapay (or any
|
||
other solution) there. Other examples: put a postal address if you’d like
|
||
to receive physical thank-you cards, put a logo of your enterprise, a link
|
||
to support a non-profit organisation…'
|
||
- We did not go any further because to favour one technical solution would be
|
||
to impose, in the code, a political vision of cultural sharing and its financing.
|
||
All financial solutions are possible and treated equally in PeerTube.
|
||
- However, many improvements of PeerTube are to be expected… Including those
|
||
that would allow you to create (and choose) the monetization tools that interest
|
||
you!
|
||
- 'Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the vast majority of videos published
|
||
on the Internet (and even on YouTube) are shared for non-market purposes:
|
||
remuneration is a tool, but not necessarily a main or essential purpose.'
|
||
instances:
|
||
title: Where can I put my videos?
|
||
text:
|
||
- You need to find a PeerTube hosting instance you trust.
|
||
- There’s a complete <a href="@:data.link.instancesPT">list of instances here</a>,
|
||
and a list of those that are <a href="./#getting-started">open to registration
|
||
here</a>.
|
||
- Then, we recommend you go to the instances, read their "about" page to discover
|
||
their terms of use (disk space limit per user, content policy, etc.).
|
||
- It’s best to contact and talk directly with hosting providers, to understand
|
||
their business model, vision, etc. Because only you can determine what makes
|
||
you trust such or such host, and thus entrust your videos to them.

text:
|
||
- '<blockquote>"It’s outrageous and unconscious: you’re releasing PeerTube’s version 1
|
||
when it doesn’t contain the necessary tools to effectively manage videos claimed
|
||
by rights holders, or to effectively manage the issue of online harassment in comments,
|
||
or to effectively manage monetization through advertising, or to (insert here your
|
||
request to PeerTube). It will never work! What do you intend to do about it?"</blockquote>'
|
||
- 'You’re right. PeerTube 1.0 is not the perfect tool, far from it. And we never promised
|
||
that this version 1.0 would be a tool that would include all the features corresponding
|
||
to all cases.'
|
||
- 'PeerTube 1.0 is the realization of the commitment we made in October 2017 to take
|
||
PeerTube from an alpha version (personal project and proof of concept that a federated
|
||
video platform could work) to a 1.0 version in October 2018 (which does not mean
|
||
"final version", but "version considered stable and distributable").'
|
||
- 'Remember that PeerTube has only one (almost) full time developer and a
|
||
small handful of very involved volunteers. It is not a product developed by a
|
||
start-up with a full time team (dev, design, UX, marketing, support, etc.)
|
||
and significant financial support. It is a Community free software, the development
|
||
of which will continue over the months and, we hope, in the years to come.'
|
||
- 'We are well aware of the shortcomings of PeerTube 1.0, especially in the moderation
|
||
tools area (videos, comments, etc.). And we intend to work on these weaknesses. '
|
||
- 'We have chosen to do so as follows: on the one hand we will work primarily in
|
||
the coming months to improve these tools within PeerTube itself (in the <i>core</i> of
|
||
the software). On the other hand, we will also focus, in parallel, a large part
|
||
of PeerTube’s development effort during 2019 on the integration of a plugin system,
|
||
which can be developed by the communities.'
|
||
- 'Indeed, we do not claim to have the science behind it and know how best to manage
|
||
each of the tools according to each of the needs.
|
||
For example: with regard to the question of DMCA requests, cases vary according
|
||
to geographical jurisdictions (European law is different from French law,
|
||
itself different from Canadian law, itself different from American law, etc.).
|
||
Concerning the tools for moderating comments, here again, we cannot decree ourselves
|
||
experts of the subject, because this is simply not the case.'
|
||
- 'By acting both on the <i>core</i>, but also by allowing the development of plugins,
|
||
we believe that PeerTube will, in the long term, be able to respond much better to
|
||
these issues and allow different communities to adapt PeerTube to their needs.'
|
||
- 'We are working as quickly as possible to improve PeerTube, but we are doing so with
|
||
the resources we have, which means <strong>very</strong> limited.'
|
||
- 'In the meantime, as an user if you feel that PeerTube 1.0 does not currently
|
||
meet your needs, it’s simple: don’t use it right now :) (we remind you that we
|
||
don’t make money developing PeerTube, and that if we obviously hope for its success,
|
||
the survival of our association doesn’t depend on it).'
|
||
- 'As an administrator, if you are afraid of DMCA requests, there is an option to limit
|
||
the opening of registrations to people you know. You will then be able to reopen
|
||
registrations without verification once these verification tools have been integrated,
|

or you have developed them.'

title: Why does PeerTube use the ActivityPub federation protocol? Why not IPFS
|
||
/ d.tube / Steemit?
|
||
text:
|
||
- PeerTube uses ActivityPub because this federation protocol is recommended
|
||
by the W3C and is already used by the federated social network Mastodon.
|
||
- IPFS is a great technology, but it still seems very (too!) young for large
|
||
scale streaming of large files.
|
||
- After discussing it on our forum, we feel that d.tube is not free or open
|
||
source, because publishing only compiled code hinders freedom of modification.
|
||
- D.tube is based on Steem for "remuneration", it is a choice, but Steem is
|
||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steemit#Criticism">widely criticized</a>
|
||
as <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@docdelux/30-days-of-steemit-here-is-my-criticism">highly
|
||
centralized</a>, and suspiciously <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptonews/psa-constructive-criticism-the-ugly-truth-behind-steemit">resembles
|
||
a Ponzi system</a>.
|
||
- PeerTube is free, decentralized, distributed, and does not impose any remuneration
|
||
model. This is the choice we have made, which is debatable, and others (like
|
||
d.tube) have made other choices, which have their advantages. So it’s up to
|
||
you to see what suits you.
