About Tube

Tube is a self-hosted video sharing application written in Go that works like a stripped-down YouTube without the features you do not need. Uploaded videos are automatically transcoded to MP4 with H.265 and AAC, and you can organise media into multiple collections and publish an RSS feed for subscribers. It suits individuals and small communities who want to host and share their own videos on infrastructure they control, free of platform algorithms and censorship concerns.
