If you have a minimum amount of time and technical skills, creating your own platform (also called "instance") <strong>on your server</strong> is the best way to take advantage of PeerTube.
If you notice performance problems or a bottleneck at your scale, don't hesitate to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/new/choose">create an issue</a> to discuss it.
If you want to store many videos on your PeerTube instance, you may want to store videos externally using <a href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/remote-storage" target="_blank">Object Storage</a>.
If you want to test the PeerTube develop branch, we provide <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://builds.joinpeertube.org/nightly/">nightly builds</a>.
It is a project supported by Framasoft, a french non profit recognized as being of <strong>general interest</strong> and <strong>funded 90% by your donations</strong>.
It serves two purposes on a PeerTube instance: it ensures all videos can be played optimally in the web interface, and it generates different resolutions for the same video.
It's based on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://activitypub.rocks">ActivityPub</a> to connect with tools <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/da2b08d4-a242-4170-b32a-4ec8cbdca701">like Mastodon</a> for example.
