Deployed on AWS
PeerTube on AWS by FOSSonCloud is an open-source CloudFormation template and custom AMI that deploys a production-ready PeerTube federated video platform on AWS, using both AWS and PeerTube best practices.
Overview
PeerTube on AWS by FOSSonCloud is an open-source AWS CloudFormation template that offers an easy-to-install AWS infrastructure solution for quickly deploying PeerTube, using both AWS and PeerTube best practices.
PeerTube is a free, open-source, federated video platform that enables creators to host their own video site while participating in the wider Fediverse via ActivityPub.
This solution leverages an S3 bucket fronted by CloudFront for global delivery of user-generated video content, provisions an Aurora PostgreSQL cluster for the database, and an ElastiCache Redis cluster for cache and job queues. It configures SES with Easy DKIM for emails, and configures Route53 with convenient DNS entries.
The template ensures multi-level security by incorporating AWS IAM for federated access to resources with least privilege and AWS managed keys and Secrets Manager to manage secrets for encryption of data at rest and in transit.
This pattern uses a singleton Auto Scaling Group with a persistent EBS data volume - PeerTube is not horizontally scalable in this deployment.
An optional email address is collected as part of the CloudFormation parameters as the AdminEmail parameter. This email is used as the initial admin login for the PeerTube instance and is not shared with any third party.
Highlights
- Production-ready PeerTube site, with search, email, and caching
- Integrated with AWS Certificate Manager for HTTPS support
- Logs in CloudWatch Logs, Remote access via Session Manager

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
- Upgrade to PeerTube v8.1.5
- Upstream replaced yarn with pnpm; install script now uses npm run install-node-dependencies
- Manual post-upgrade migration required for existing deployments - see https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v8.0.0 (run peertube-8.0.js after the v8 database migration completes)
- New object_storage.captions bucket configuration wired to the same S3 bucket + CloudFront distribution
- Upgrade base AMI from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)
- Upgrade to OE devenv version 2.8.3
- Upgrade to OE Common Constructs version 4.5.1
- Aurora PostgreSQL upgraded 15.4 -> 15.13 (causes brief downtime on stack update)
- ElastiCache Redis upgraded 6.2 -> 7.0
- Upgrade to aws-cdk-lib 2.225.0
- Introduce versioned AMI parameter (AsgAmiIdv300) so CloudFormation treats each release's AMI swap as a parameter change

Usage instructions
Run the stack, providing valid parameters. When the stack creation completes, go to the outputs of the stack and open the URL in your browser. To access the application server, find the EC2 instance in the AWS console and Connect using the Session Manager option. The initial admin email is set via the AdminEmail parameter; the initial admin password is generated on first boot and stored in AWS Secrets Manager. For more detailed instructions, see the GitHub project.
