I'm on the Video.js team, just wanted to say thank you! Means a lot and we'd be eager to hear your experience trying it out. Feel free to drop a GitHub issue or discussion post if you ever get a chance :)

From me, this is a massive relief after we just deployed a bunch of videos to Vimeo. The next week they were bought.

I'm a one-man operation. In the order of hundreds of videos served a week. All I want is control over my own destiny. If this and a VPS can do that, that'll be amazing. Thank you for doing this.

If you need more than a VPS can provide (like a real CDN), you can check us out on Swarmify.com. It might be overkill for your use case, though.

We'll be moving to videojs 10 when it hits GA.

You absolutely can do that with videojs, it's very easy.

Might need to consider bandwidth and the usual mitigation against scrapers if you're serving video unauthenticated.
