Is there possible to use my own ipfs node to save the videos,the network is NOT data-persistent,i have lost a lot of videos.

Please tell us how to run this on our own ipfs node,rather than some random node of the ipfs network.

thanks

Yeah, I should probably put a notice about that on the front page...

The instance I'm running is on a VPS with only 20GB of storage, so old stuff gets overwritten/unpinned as new stuff is uploaded. It's really meant as a temporary seeder.

If you head over to the ipfs install instructions you can set up your own node on your computer or a server if you've got one. Then just use ipfs add {filename} if you've got a file, or ipfs pin {hash} if it's already on the network and you want to make sure you keep a copy.

Yes , I know how ipfs node works now,and i have one of your ipfstube on my own server.

But what i did not know is your ipfstube uses which ipfs node to primarily store files.Is your ipfstube using the official gateway.ipfs.io ipfs node

or is ipfstube using its own ipfs node (but i didnot find the code) on the server as same as ipfstube.

The previous deleted videos has been relived earlier today, its very weird....

It runs it's own node.
