Maintenance health: Maintained

Last commit within the past 12 months. Last commit · No releases in the past year.

How we label health: Active = last commit within 90 days, Maintained = within 12 months, Slowing = 12–24 months, Stale = over 24 months, Archived = read-only repository, Unknown = no data. Activity data from the git.mills.io API.

Run Tube yourself

  • RAM: ~4 GB server (2 vCPU)
  • Docker: not detected — install from source or packages
  • Storage: plan disk for your data (media/files grow fast); attach a volume or use object storage.
  • video transcoding is CPU-heavy; 2+ vCPU or a GPU/iGPU helps

Rough estimate from the app's stack and category, not a benchmark. Several light apps can share one server. Some hosting links may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you; it never affects which apps we list.
