I am not really sure if its even possible, but is there some kind of Open-Source Self-Hosted CDN software? I'm new to this so please don't bully me on the comments.

You don't self-host a CDN. The CDN is hosting around the world so users connect to closer servers.

A sefhosted network of cdn servers would be cool though. Basically a more generalized webtorrent.

In this case of self-hosting I mean my self managing the CDN network, even if its like let's say Linode hosting it for example, instead of beying like cloudflare CDN.
