I have already asked this many times. Here it goes again.
#asknostr
Where is the best places to upload ~10 minute #YouTube type videos that are #nostr integrated?
I am nor sure I want to be stuck with a Nostr.build premium account.
I don't think Zap.Stream really fits what I want to do.
satellite.earth
Thats a new suggestion for me. Thanks. I'll check it out! 🦾
I have nostr.build but kinda wish I had gone with satellite instead.
they have a sexy web client too
I didn't sign into Satellite.. They do video hosting as well? Is it cheaper or just better?
i think it is comparable feature-wise
Oh man. This does look nice. And you pay for What you use it seems.
This looks nice and it seems you pay for what you use only. denominated in usd interesting. Is that a good thing?
why don't you want a nostr.build premium account?
Maybe I do. I have not pulled the trigger yet though. If I choose to go that route, then I am obligated to keep paying the fee to keep all the content up. Maybe the fact that you have to pay up front is what makes it good. And then just share straight to nostr I guess.. 🤷
Do you use one?
I don't because I'm happy with just using their free services. I don't do videos (yet)
if your aim is to host more media, either you do it for free somewhere like YouTube and they do their fiat bs. or you pay for storage and access.
That does make a lot of sense. Nothing is free. I question sites like odysee who have a shitcoin attached. Nostr.build seems solid. And then you can share everywhere. I am leaning that way. Thanks for. The input.
you're very welcome. I think it's better to keep it simple. pay sats. get storage 👍
you're going to need a premium account somewhere such as nostr.build or primal or you host the files yourself. hosting files, especially videos, costs money.
Is there any easy solution for self hosting that a less technical person can do?
point and click easy? no. you need a server that's accessible from the Internet. it's going to require several technical and manual steps.
quick and dirty:
1) you'd need a domain name, an SSL certificate, and router configuration to host at home on a machine you have at home. this could be your umbrel or start9 that i saw you mention, but it's going to need some manual configuration.
2) you'd need to buy a virtual private server (VPS) from a hosting provider and setup everything minus the router configuration.
Sounds like I should just go with nostr.build
If I have longer videos there, I can share them directly into something like amethyst still?
I've been using nostr.build for a couple years. It's a great service, and it integrates with amethyst well. Highly recommended. nostr:nprofile1qqsglv2qkn5dmmuhee9cy8fywfu2rfp4xd3xy0myqg2gfvmjl9yqqrqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3eryvfwvdhk6qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qxrg5q & nostr:nprofile1qqsgutaplle37z2p9qd60rcaz82pr2j9ew2e06dzezgdft4sj57p7qcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjvewvfkx7emnw3ezuctswqx62fa3 are always quick to help if you have troubles too 👍
I think I am going to do it. I think my hesitation is that once I pay for storage I will feel more obligation to share content that has value. But it is part of what I want to do here. And free is never free.
I personally find nostr.build to be the most useful (and safe) option for CDN hosting. The features and functionality are top notch, they are super responsive and keep a backup the data.
Plus; the fast that they just increased storage options at no cost really sealed the deal for me. I now use it for all my content hosting! As a media creator of 16 years, it’s by far the best user friendly solution I’ve ever found
