Is there a FOSS alternative to gfycat for hosting short video clips? With gfycat shutting down, I’m looking for other options.

    Technically - a webserver is all you need. And there’re a bunch of FOSS ones. Realistically storage and bandwidth will eat through your wallet if you keep it open to the public.

      True. I personally wouldn’t want to host a public instance because of the chance that illegal content could be uploaded and because my isp would take issue with the data usage. I was wondering if someone had done the work in creating something similar. I’ve definitely got the horsepower for a private service share amongst friends and family.
