PeerTube 8.3.2 (AGPL-3.0) on Ubuntu 24.04: a self-hosted video hosting and sharing platform, behind HTTPS with a generated administrator password and self-service sign-up closed.
Overview
This AMI runs PeerTube, a self-hosted video hosting platform, version 8.3.2, on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Members upload, organise into channels and playlists, and share videos, with viewers commenting and subscribing; the vendor image is pinned to this exact version and baked into the AMI, so first start does not depend on a registry. Videos, thumbnails and the database are kept on the instance; a background job queue handles uploads and transcoding.
What Perimattic adds
The administrator password is generated for you, not left as a default: during first-login setup a random 24-character password is generated on your server and given only to PeerTube's own one-time installer, before the site is published, so it never appears in the running container's settings. Self-service sign-up is off; add members yourself or turn it on from the admin settings. Setup checks that the password works, that a wrong or blank password is refused, and that a stranger's sign-up attempt is refused, before Apache publishes the site.
HTTPS through Apache: a reverse proxy with websocket support and a free Let's Encrypt certificate from certbot. The job queue and cache run on Valkey rather than Redis. Live streaming (RTMP) stays off, which is the application's own default, so no extra network port is opened.
Limits you should know
Reading the video catalogue needs no login, which is how PeerTube normally works; only uploading, commenting and account actions require signing in. PeerTube federates with other PeerTube servers you choose to follow or that choose to follow you; nothing happens automatically until you do. Transcoding uses real CPU, so pick an instance type with enough vCPUs for your expected upload volume, and size the root volume for your expected video library. No SMTP server is configured, so password-reset and moderation mail cannot be sent until you add one.
Licence and attribution
Built on the open-source PeerTube (AGPL-3.0 licence), unmodified. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Framasoft; PeerTube is a trademark of its owner.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Open https://your-domain/ and sign in as root with the password printed at the end of setup Create a channel and upload your first video
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Initial release.
- Application: PeerTube 8.3.2 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- The administrator password is generated at first login and given only to the one-time installer, never to the running container's settings; self-service sign-up is closed and setup verifies every refusal before publishing.
- PeerTube 8.3.2 (AGPL-3.0, unmodified vendor image) uses Valkey for its job queue and cache; live streaming (RTMP) stays off by default.
- No SMTP server is configured out of the box; transcoding uses real CPU, so size the instance for the expected upload volume.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Video transcoding is CPU-intensive; a t3.large (2 vCPUs, 8 GB) is the recommended starting size, sized up for a larger expected upload volume. Size the root volume for your expected video library.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to PeerTube
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example video.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character administrator password and gives it only to PeerTube's own one-time installer
- Starts PeerTube with self-service sign-up off, then checks that the password works, a wrong or blank password is refused, and a stranger's sign-up is refused
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy with websocket support and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL, username and password; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access PeerTube
Open https://<your-domain>/ and sign in as root with the password printed at the end of setup (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add members under Administration > Users, or turn self-service sign-up back on under Administration > Configuration if you want an open instance.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Videos, thumbnails and the database are kept at /opt/app/data and /opt/app/postgres; back them up or snapshot the volume before upgrades and size it for your expected video library. Reading the video catalogue needs no login; uploading and commenting do.
