A comment on Ask HN: Videos on my website, youtube or selfhosted?.

Seems like a good idea for a startup. Product: self-hosted video. Which ultimately could take you in so many different directions, so many different market opportunities there.

Which means, someone has already thought of this and is trying to provide this service. So 'superice' you want to see what's out there and report back?

I poked around for a bit, but I can't find what you mean. However, I did find an awful lot of websites that discourage self hosting video's :P

Seems like a great idea for a startup indeed: submit your video and in a few minutes, you get an e-mail with a link pointing to a zip with an example html file, 3 different HTML5 supported video formats and a flv file.

Just saw a post in /new from Mediacrush

Their code is open-source now all we need is a Docker image for it :-)
