AVideo-Storage

AVideo Simple Storage is a Storage Service for the AVideo Platform Instances.

It is designed to make web-scaleble storage.

ie with this service you will have unlimited storage capacity and low cost.

For example when one of your storage is full, just plug in one more storage and your videos will continue to be saved to the new storage.

This service is designed to replace our current S3, BackBlaze B2 and FTP plugins, but with much more integration with our services, besides you will have no restriction on the amount of storages used.

You can install as many storage nodes as you want, without any geographical restrictions.

Benefits

Storage scales as needed
Minimal start up investment and cost
Uses the bandwidth of the storage
Facilitates your server load balancing on the amount of the used bandwidth
Can speed up delivery based on location of each video

Install apache xsendfile

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-xsendfile && sudo a2enmod xsendfile

Configure your apache XSendFile

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

<Directory /var/www/html/AVideo-Storage/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    XSendFile on
    XSendFilePath /var/www/html/AVideo-Storage/
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from All
</Directory>

Enable YPTStorage Plugin

Make sure you enable it before your installation, this is necessary because the Storage installation will check your plugin during the configuration assistant

If you do not have the plugin yet, get it here

Access your storage server

On the first access you will be requested for your streamer address. the installation script will try to create your videos directory and your configuration.php file. If any of those fail you will need to create it manually.

The script will create a Storage site for you on your streamer site, but this site will be inactive, you will need to activate it (On the YPTStorage plugin) before proceed.

Demonstration

We currently have this feature enabled on the demo site

We have the following storages:

You can switch the storages from the videos on the videos manager. You will find a move storage button, when you click on it. It will popup a window with the options to move your video to the local storage or one of the 3 storages above.
