PeerTube
Federated (ActivityPub) video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) directly in the web browser with WebTorrent.
We have run a crowdfunding campaign to pave the road to version 1.0 of PeerTube. Thanks to everyone who pitched in and shared the news around. You can now check out the corresponding milestone and help its development!
Getting Started
- Website
- Instances list
- Chat:
- IRC : #peertube on chat.freenode.net:6697
- Matrix (bridged on the IRC channel) : #peertube:matrix.org
Demonstration
Want to see it in action?
- Demonstration servers:
- Video What is PeerTube?
- Video to see what the "decentralization feature" looks like
- Video to see the communication between PeerTube and Mastodon
Why
We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternative to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with centralized software. One organization alone may not have enough money to pay for bandwidth and video storage of its servers.
So we need to have a decentralized network of servers seeding videos (as Diaspora for example). But it's not enough because one video could become famous and overload the server. That is why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load. Thanks to WebTorrent, we can make P2P (thus BitTorrent) inside the web browser, as of today.

Architecture
See ARCHITECTURE.md for a more detailed explanation.
Backend
- The backend is a REST API.
- Servers communicate with each other with Activity Pub.
- Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, query where the torrent URI of this specific video is...).
- If a user uploads a video, the server seeds it and sends its followers some metadata (name, short description, torrent URI...).
- A server is a tracker responsible for all the videos uploaded on it.
- Even if nobody watches a video, it is seeded by the server (through WebSeed protocol) where the video was uploaded.
Here are some simple schemes:
