NodeTube is an open-source, self-hostable YouTube alternative built as an Express/Node.js application. It supports video, audio, and image uploads, livestreaming, and built-in monetization, using MongoDB, Redis, and ffmpeg.
Use cases
- self-host a youtube alternative
- host videos on my own server
- open-source video sharing platform
- livestreaming site with monetization
- upload and share audio and images
- replace youtube with self-hosted media site
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted media platform with video, audio, and image uploads in one app
- you need built-in livestreaming and creator monetization out of the box
- you prefer a simple Node.js/Express stack you can deploy on Heroku or Docker
When to avoid
- you need a large-scale, actively developed platform with a big contributor community
- you want federation or ActivityPub support like PeerTube
- you need a modern frontend stack rather than server-rendered Pug templates
