It just need to serve statically a file, and then the clients will request chunks with a Content-Range HTTP header. - - -## If a client requests each chunk of a video through HTTP, the server be overloaded! - -Not really. 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. - - -## An index of all videos of servers you follow won't be too large for small servers? - -No, 1000000 videos will represent around 2GB on PostgreSQL. It is acceptable for a video platform. - - -## What kind of videos can I upload? - -WEBM, MP4 or OGV videos. - - -## I want to change my host or move to HTTPS, how can I do that? - -If you already have followers, you can't. - -If you don't: update your configuration and run `NODE_ENV=production npm run update-host` to update the torrent files. +Moved to https://joinpeertube.org/faq
