UPDATE
The peertube crew have implements RSS so can do seedboxes https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/pull/500
ideas for doing this please
I have found a test way using vuze https://wiki.vuze.com/w/WebTorrent with a few plug-ins (RSS etc) will role this out as test seedboxes for inital install
Do people have better more #4opens ways to do this, ideas please.
UPDATE (old)
They only use torrents for the downloading and webRT for streaming so this make scaling more complex...
Seeding video on the #openweb
We are #rebooting the #openweb side of http://visionon.tv project based on https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/wiki in early/middle of April.
The idea is to run this as decentralized as possible, that is to only temporally store the large videos files on the central server and rely much more on seedboxes in peoples homes and business.
Am looking for a few people to help set these up and host them for the first roll-out.
Basically:
- A low power computer (raspberry pie, old laptop, desktop)
- With a big external usb HD
- Running a webRTC torrent app (vuze would work) configured to pull the video files down from the visionontv server(ver RSS) and seed them.
- This APP can be rate limited depending on your internet connection to stop your ISP complaining.
- Then this is left online and dues its thing, you become a core part of the #openweb and OMN
We have to move nearly 2000 videos with more than 30 million views off the #dotcon and back onto the #openweb
Be a part of this.
