What is the project about?
Dtube is a video plateform based on the steem blockchain that store videos on IPFS. Because most of users doesn't use ipfs. Dtube is a central point that will store content on IPFS node.
Dtube community support is a bot that will "listen" for new dtube content for a specific steem tag and store the video on a local IPFS node. Plus it stores metadata about dtube content like tittle (steem post) / video size / permlink / author. The main goad is to persist dtube content of your favorite community on IPFS.
DCS will retrieve 480p videos. if not availble, it will retrieve the source file.

technology stack
The bot itself is a nodeJS app. it uses the following modules :
- steemjs (to get IPFS hash / metadata)
- ipfs-api (to connect on ipfs node and pin content)
IPFS must be installed manualy on the same host.
Installation / Configuration / Start
Install
Clone the repo
cd ./dtube-community-support
npm install
Configure
In default configuration, DCS will check for francophone videos. You can change that by modifying "tags" in config.js file. "tags" is an array, you can add many tags in order to support multiple communities.
Run
npm start
Roadmap
Some Metadata are stored on a DB. In future version, I would like to add the following features :
- list all videos that have been added to the node
- manually add videos
- delete specific videos

Thx !
My mistake.
I choose 480p because my bot is running on my vps and storing source file take to many memory on my HDD and 720p is not always available.

@evildido How to limit disc usage? I've a VPS server but with very limited free space ~50G. I'd like to assign about 40G to this bot.
Is this possible?
Yep. Ipfs had a config file.
By default 10 GB is configured.
