Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Patreon is just one source of income. Ad revenue is another. Its good to have more than one source if you wanna make a living with it.

I guess I missed your point lol. Is it possible to paywall a peertube video behind Patreon?

It's possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.

Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access

Wait, does it? I thought they have better integration with Patreon to determine if you have access to the video. I guess I never checked if I can still open YouTube videos of channels I'm no longer subscribed to on Patreon.

I don't know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that's how Patreon like services work with YouTube
