What's your recommendation for a selfhosted services to stream some private videos from S3 compatible service (vultr)?

I was thinking a private peertube instance could work, but it requires the S3 files to be public and allow all origins, so I don't like that idea.

The other one was to use rclone mount to have it as another block storage, but I don't know what are the cons of this, or if it's possible to use it with this kind of services.

This won't be for my camera videos (already have immich) nor for series/movies (jellyfin). It'll be for random videos from youtube, or twitch which I want to hoard.

(Also if you have a recommendation for cheap online storage for this it'll be appreciated, Vultr's is $0.006/GB)

I don't know how PeerTube name video files for S3, but if they are random strings then maybe you could disable file listing and with proper rate limiting those names basically become a password.

That's how media storage works on Discord or Matrix. All files user upload have public links, but names are long enough to be not possible to brute force.

I don't like the idea of security by obscurity, seems like a lazy way of trying to protect a resource.

Can't you bypass the peerturbe limitation by having everything inside a wireguard VPN? There are some wireguard UIs that may come in handy to set things up..

What do you mean?
The frontend yeah, but seems the S3 objects would still need to be public.
