Maybe there is some sort of business case, or at least some preliminary solution to get there, that offers a middle ground between "you're only the customer of our SaaS" and "you have to be your own IT department"? something like a standardized cloud-ready deployment, where instead of only d/l the server side app, the site also points you to the cloud providers that also support that app (or this standard) so that you're just 3 clicks away from running your own instance.
That'd be nice, not sure it would pay for the team developing that standard though.
binder is kinda similar for python jupyter notebooks

edit: after looking at the github, they actually have this with YunoHost (whatever that is): https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=peertube
For someone who has never used YouTube as a content creator, a "Getting Started" guide for PeerTube would actually be quite short.
If you want the equivalent to Youtube, take a look at something like https://framatube.org/
Case in point: "Recipe: Medium-Boiled Eggs" https://medium.com/@corey_nelson/recipe-medium-boiled-eggs-7...
Plenty of huge YouTubers don't use any YT ads at all.
Even for millions of views on a video its typically less than $100
And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I love the idea, but can’t for the life of me think what it will take to make something like this truly popular. (Though I wish I could!)
Oh boy.
Thanks for the dose of humility.
Peertube is just the software. The linked has no lookup system, it's just a site telling you about the software, linking to sourcecode & documentation, and linking to other sites that host that software.
The primary instance references on the site (i.e. the streaming server that they embed their own videos from) is https://framatube.org/
