Hello, I wanted to learn how a Peertube instance works, just to start. This is my baby instance so it works with:

Peertube 3.1.0
Raspberry pi 4B
128 GB USB3 key
@home

https://ptb.lunarviews.net

I have a pretty good connection with my ISP and I think it's a minimal investment.

It's very interesting to do, I think that if you have some resources it's good to share them and to learn, it doesn't have to be perfect the first time if you start little by little and you're interested it's a good start ;)

Here are my installation notes, if you are interested.

How's the bandwidth usage?

How’s the bandwidth usage?

I'm not a system administrator I'm doing this to learn, so I wouldn't know how to explain it well.I have about 900 Mb/s down and 500 Mb/s up. A classic fiber optic conexion with my isp. I also don't have a lot of video in use and I don't have much redundancy at the moment. I'll keep learning to see if it works for me, and see if I can get it to work well.

Maybe you can recommend a tool to answer your questions? bmon, iftop ?

Oh I wish I had 500Mb/s up :( Here I can get massive download speeds but pretty much no upload

I assume you mean this: You can read on the [Peertube installation page] (https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install-any-os)

Administrator

The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the PeerTube logs (path defined in production.yaml). You can also set another password with:

$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root

Indeed I used this password for my login the first time in the administration of my Peertube instance, that's why I say to change it quickly. For ctrl + d or exit I agree with you. Thanks for the comment, the footnotes are reminders for me. Maybe it would be good if I put all this a little more clean :)
