|
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!

- 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

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 😉.'
|
|||
|
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 😉).'
|
|||
|
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.'

|
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.'

you trust such or such host, and thus entrust your videos to 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.
