We already run JWPlayer
We don't use their streaming servers though.
maybe make load balancer with bunch of kimsufi will work for you
@DeadCode what you need is an solution so please tell us what you wanna accomplish so experts here may help you attain that after that lets speak about other things like price sustainability
As far as I can see OP runs https://muchohentai.com/
Edit: You're on 3winfra.com right now, maybe have a look at worldstream.nl?
Also in NL, 1gbps unmetered from 150€/m, 10gbps unmetered (with guaranteed 2gbps) from 300€/m.

This is what he wrote on the first page.
Oh yeah, I could have just read the posts instead of looking for the backend IP :x
Why not get a 11.99€ barematel at scaleway that has 2.5gbps unmetered internal bandwidth, upgrade it to 1TB SSD (+19€/m extra) and then use ~5 200mbps vps at 3€/m to stream the files?
That would come down to ~50€/m based on how many servers you actually need.
Keep in mind that those scaleway ssds are network-attached. Means you won't get 2.5gbit internal bandwidth when serving files from those, but more like 1.25gbit (best case).
Better go for their direct-ssd thingy (or more than one), and spread your data a bit.
The load balancer will become the weakest link in the chain. The traffic will be limited by its throughput.
I've contacted WorldStream. Waiting for news.
So I have contacted WorldStream. They offer 1Gbit for free. The rest is a play on words. 10Gbit means I'm on a 10Gbit port but only 2Gbps is offered. A 10Gbit speed is € 2250 per month.
Let us know if you find either 2 or 10 Gb - good quality! - pipes cheaper anywhere.
I think at this point the solution is horizontal scaling over different VPS networks. I'll see what I can do with that.
I'm glad that you finally saw the light.
Plus: You can keep your current dedi and such afford to have some central command post for all them VPSs.
That said, I'd still stick to dedis. Worldstream has rather attractive offers where you can spread, say, another 250TB over a couple of those for a quite nice total cost, getting resilience for free along the way, and you can also spread over different locations, somewhat adapting to your clients.
As for coordination, that's not a big problem. Can be done by a pro in little time.
You could run multiple servers and use Cloudflare as a load balancer. They have a closed trial for a load balancing feature.
In the mean time, multiple A records can acts as simple round-robin balancing. That should work OK with similar servers, when combined with your own health checks and API calls to add/remove records if those severs change.
Yup, already said all this in the thread.
pls dont destroy me
(Cuz of your name)
CloudFlare load-balancing will probably be pretty costly.
I thought rate-limiting would set a middle-ground between Pro and Business customers for DDoS-protection but apparently on what they want to price it at after their beta it would cost me more than 200$/m.
Get in touch with Openload and work out a deal? They can exempt you from DMCA removals if your site gets high traffic.
If you want something self-hosted I suggest you get in touch with sia.tech developers. They may take money upfront for developing the streaming service but it wounds up a lot cheaper in the end.
Seeing that you use Detube, you started a while back. I can suggest some themes if you like that fit more with porn and aren't obsolete.
Not if you treat your content as CDN-served. Then your "loadbalancer" becomes a fancy "what server is this file on? Oh, here's a link mr Client" - box. (which is technically not a loadbalancer in the purest sense of the word)
That way, you can do some beefy-ish server (a metered gbit dedi would do fine) with a bunch of cheap unmetered 100mbit-1gbit slave servers. Have all your content on the main box, rsync A-C to slave1, D-F to slave2, G-I to slave3. Then all you have to do is a quick lookup for where the content is at.
When a slave dies, you can easily keep serving the (missing) content from the main box while setting up a new slave and syncing it, or even have slaves with duplicated content. This will also provide you with backups of a sort.
No need. I'm already almost done recoding the entire thing. It's using Golang, so I'm not too worried about the future scalability or speed.
What I should do is simply have an origin on Gigabit and use Nginx on edge w/ proxy_cache. I own an nginx+ license so purging, draining and routing through the API will be a breeze.
I'll then use a deploy script or a docker image on multiple digital ocean VPSes, calculate the current load through the Nginx+ API, create a small predictive algorithm connected through Google Analytics to predict peak times. Then get the droplets IPs, set their TTL to 5 mins or none, add it all on CloudFlare using the API, and I'll be done.
Er, you're done coding it for Sia?
I won't use Sia. I'll be using an Origin<=> Edge solution.
