## PeerTube — peertube.cif.su (open registration, unlimited quota)

- `storage/peertube-peertube-cif-su` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding write-gated | category media
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://peertube.cif.su
- free tier: Unlimited total quota (`user.videoQuota: -1`), 5 GiB per day (`videoQuotaDaily: 5368709120`). Registration open, no approval, no email verification. | unit: GiB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Free — instance serves HTTP + WebTorrent/HLS; no egress meter. Peers can also seed via BitTorrent, offloading the host. | metered: no
- identity: email
- interface: rest, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping: 5 GiB per day [1]
  - per-ip-shaping: 5 GiB/day [1]
  - write-gated (binding): approval, no email verification [1]
  - write-gated (binding): approval-gated and not open-signup [1]
- limits note: 5 GiB/day at cif.su is the binding constraint (a two-year fill for 3 TiB). Per-file cap is the global `video.file` size limit, not separately published; accepted containers include mkv/mov/avi/flac, so arbitrary-ish binaries can be wrapped. Some instances (diode.zone) are unlimited but approval-gated and not open-signup.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: yt-dlp `PeerTube` extractor (verified present). Native REST API v1: `/api/v1/videos`, `/api/v1/users/me`, resumable upload via `X-Upload-Content-Length`. rclone has no native backend; a shell/curl wrapper is trivial.
- composes with: cif.su alone is 5 GiB/day = ~1.8 TiB/year per account with no total ceiling. Multiply across the ~15 open-signup instances in the index and across accounts. hittube.fr is a flat 50 GiB with unlimited daily; arkcast.mycreationhaven.com is 5 GiB with unlimited daily.
- reliability: Volunteer-run instances disappear without notice — a single admin's disk decision deletes the archive. `videoFile.update` is disabled on cif.su, so you cannot patch an upload in place.
- notes: the same as the free tier
