Deployed on AWS
PeerTube on AWS by FOSSonCloud is an open-source CloudFormation template and custom AMI that deploys a production-ready PeerTube federated video platform on AWS, using both AWS and PeerTube best practices.
Overview
PeerTube on AWS by FOSSonCloud is an open-source AWS CloudFormation template that offers an easy-to-install AWS infrastructure solution for quickly deploying PeerTube, using both AWS and PeerTube best practices.
PeerTube is a free, open-source, federated video platform that enables creators to host their own video site while participating in the wider Fediverse via ActivityPub.
This solution leverages an S3 bucket fronted by CloudFront for global delivery of user-generated video content, provisions an Aurora PostgreSQL cluster for the database, and an ElastiCache Redis cluster for cache and job queues. It configures SES with Easy DKIM for emails, and configures Route53 with convenient DNS entries.
The template ensures multi-level security by incorporating AWS IAM for federated access to resources with least privilege and AWS managed keys and Secrets Manager to manage secrets for encryption of data at rest and in transit.
This pattern uses a singleton Auto Scaling Group with a persistent EBS data volume - PeerTube is not horizontally scalable in this deployment.
An optional email address is collected as part of the CloudFormation parameters as the AdminEmail parameter. This email is used as the initial admin login for the PeerTube instance and is not shared with any third party.
Highlights
- Production-ready PeerTube site, with search, email, and caching
- Integrated with AWS Certificate Manager for HTTPS support
- Logs in CloudWatch Logs, Remote access via Session Manager

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this software on. Pricing scales with the compute size you choose. The options span several instance families: t4g for burstable general use, m7g for balanced compute, c7g for compute-focused work, r7g for memory-heavy loads, and a1 for Arm-based general use. Within each family, sizes range from small (nano, micro, medium) up to large multi-core and bare-metal instances. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. You select one instance type per deployment, and billing tracks the hours that instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the software running on your chosen EC2 instance. This deploys a CloudFormation template that builds the video platform infrastructure. It includes auto scaling groups, load balancers with SSL, object storage for uploads, a content delivery network, caching, a managed database, and log aggregation.
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. However, other AWS resources in the deployment, such as storage, databases, and load balancers, may still bill separately. The hourly software meter tracks running time only.
You select one instance type per deployment, and billing tracks that instance's hours. To handle more load, you move to a compute or memory family that fits your needs. The setup uses a single instance in an auto scaling group for resilience rather than scaling out across many.

CloudFormation Template v3.1.1
PeerTube on AWS by FOSSonCloud deploys a production-ready PeerTube instance using AWS best practices.
PeerTube is a free, open-source, federated video platform that enables creators to host their own video site while participating in the wider Fediverse via ActivityPub.
WHAT'S DEPLOYED
- VPC with public and private subnets (or use your existing VPC)
- Application Load Balancer with ACM certificate for HTTPS
- Auto Scaling Group with a single Graviton (arm64) EC2 instance running PeerTube
- Persistent EBS data volume attached to the active instance
- Aurora PostgreSQL cluster (multi-AZ)
- ElastiCache Redis cluster for caching and job queues
- S3 bucket for user-uploaded videos, captions, and exports
- CloudFront distribution fronting S3 for global video delivery
- SES domain identity with Easy DKIM for email delivery
- Route53 DNS records
- CloudWatch Logs integration
- AWS Secrets Manager for credential storage
- IAM roles with least-privilege permissions
REQUIREMENTS
- Route 53 hosted zone for DNS
- ACM certificate for HTTPS
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
- Fix a CloudFormation dependency-ordering bug where the ASG could launch before the ElastiCache Redis cluster's endpoint attributes (RedisEndpoint.Address/.Port) were resolved, leaving newly-launched instances with an empty redis: section in config/production.yaml. PeerTube would then crash-loop on startup (ioredis ERR_MISSING_ARGS), which surfaced as a 502 Bad Gateway from the ALB since nginx's /elb-check health check doesn't depend on the PeerTube app being up. The ASG now has an explicit CDK dependency on the Redis cluster, mirroring the existing dependency on the database.
- No install-script changes in this release; AMI rebuilt from the same PeerTube v8.2.3 install script as 3.1.0 (AWS Marketplace requires a distinct AMI ID per submitted version).
Additional details
Usage instructions
Run the stack, providing valid parameters. When the stack creation completes, go to the outputs of the stack and open the URL in your browser. To access the application server, find the EC2 instance in the AWS console and Connect using the Session Manager option. The initial admin email is set via the AdminEmail parameter; the initial admin password is generated on first boot and stored in AWS Secrets Manager. For more detailed instructions, see the GitHub project.
