Netflix style video streaming?

Posted on October 16, 2019

Good day, everyone.

Has anyone successfully set up video streaming using Digital Ocean? This is for a small educational platform. I’m looking to stream video content instead of hosting it directly on the platform hosting and playing back using HTML5 video player tag.

What tools did you use, what Digital Ocean services did you install?

Hi @MilesThatch,

You should be alright streaming videos on the DO droplets as long as the copyrights are yours or if you are allowed to show it.

As for the how to, you can use different CMS platforms to built your website or you can just built it up from scratch, it’s entirely up to you.

Thank you as well for the reported bug, we’ll look into that.

Regards, KDSys

Nicely explained. Thanks for sharing. I will try it.
