PeerTube
PeerTube provides a decentralized, federated video hosting platform developed by Framasoft, designed for publishing and viewing video across interoperable network instances. It suits technical creators, media publishers, and infrastructure teams seeking self-hosted live streaming, video on-demand, and fediverse integration through ActivityPub. Viewers can follow channels across distinct instances using RSS or federated platforms such as Mastodon without maintaining accounts on every hosting server. The platform incorporates WebRTC-based peer-to-peer delivery to share streaming bandwidth among viewers and allows mutual caching between partner instances.
Operating an instance requires dedicated hosting hardware, server management, and network planning, as detailed in the project's production guides. PeerTube supports deployments across generic operating systems alongside unofficial community distribution packages for platforms such as Docker and YunoHost. Administrative features expose custom instance policies, configurable styling, and REST APIs backed by an OpenAPI 3.0.0 specification. The software code is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 or later (AGPL-3.0), while the project logo is released under CC BY-SA 4.0.
searxng
SearXNG operates as an internet metasearch engine designed to aggregate search queries across multiple providers without profiling or tracking users. It is targeted at developers, homelab operators, and privacy-conscious organizations that require a customizable search front end or want to deploy an internal search gateway for networked tools. The engine routes queries across third-party sources and standardizes result presentation for end users.
Running SearXNG requires managing an independent server deployment, regular engine maintenance, and custom configuration as described in the project's administration guides. Its linked installation and configuration guides are the starting point for choosing and maintaining a deployment. The codebase is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL-3.0).
