What Hacker News says
4 sourcesHow do people rate the ease of installing and administrating PeerTube?
Is there a way to install PeerTube that is as easy as MediaCMS [0, 1] installation [2]?
I ask because I evaluated options for self-hosted video (basically YouTube replacements). PeerTube is more mature/popular than MediaCMS by far, by the looks of it. However, I really wanted "easy" and ended up landing with MediaCMS for now. I somewhat wonder about the project's potential longevity, but set that concern aside for lack of "better" options.
If PeerTube can be spun up (single server will do) just as easily, I'd love to learn if it's possible/done. I know this is a tech site, but I do not want to spend time administering and configuring stuff a lot that is outside the scope of my main activities. I want it to just work as much as possible, but self-hosted (bare metal

I get that PeerTube is maybe much more, but any thoughts on taming (perceived or actual?) complexity related to hosting PeerTube would be most welcome. Thanks for any thoughts along these lines.
