With Mediagoblin you can host video and audio content in a similar manner to the proprietary systems such as YouTube and SoundCloud. This system supports free media formats such as /webm/, /ogv/ and /ogg/.
When hosting media files you should take into consideration that since anyone on the internet can view your content then this could significantly increase your bandwidth usage and overall strain on the server. If you are hosting anything which might become popular then it's a good idea to set up the Freedombone system on an old laptop rather than something like a Beaglebone Black.

It's a good idea to upload videos in <i>webm</i> format. In that case Mediagoblin will skip the transcoding step (which can take hours for videos of non-trivial length) and the whole process will be quicker.
