Recommended Platforms

b2v is intended for use on platforms where you control the storage. Self-hosted or locally-run platforms are the safest choice.

PeerTube (self-hosted)

PeerTube is a decentralized video hosting platform based on ActivityPub.

• Host your own instance on a VPS or dedicated server.
• Upload b2v videos to a private or unlisted channel.

Nextcloud

Nextcloud is a self-hosted file storage and collaboration platform.

• Store .mkv or .mp4 files directly in your file storage.
• Works with the Nextcloud "Media" app for browsing.

Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server.

• Point Jellyfin at a directory of b2v videos to organize and access them.
• No tracking, no subscription required.

Decentralized networks (IPFS, LBRY/Odysee)

• IPFS: Content-addressed, immutable storage. Files are publicly accessible via public gateways unless restricted.
• LBRY/Odysee: Blockchain-based content distribution. Review abuse policies before uploading non-standard content.
