Reverse proxies like Nginx handle very well requests of static -files. In my tests, it can send chunks at 10MB/s without consuming more than 5% -of CPU on a very small VPS. - - -## Will an index of all the videos of servers you follow be too large for small servers? - -In our benchmarks, 1,000,000 videos takes around 2GB of storage on PostgreSQL. -We think it is acceptable for a video platform. - - -## What codecs can I use for the videos I want to upload? - -WEBM, MP4 or OGV videos. - - -## I want to change my host, how can I do that? - -If you already have followers, you can't. - -If you don't have any followers, update your configuration and run -`NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host` to update the torrent files (they contain your domain name). +Moved to https://joinpeertube.org/faq
