Using MediaGoblin to Create a Private Server for Home Videos

[Michael Lynch]

Hi All,

For the past few years, I've been working on a long project to digitize my family's home videos and share the individual videos using MediaGoblin. I use Google Cloud Storage to store the media files and host MediaGoblin in a free on-demand Heroku dyno, so my only cost is storage and bandwidth, which is less than $1/month.

I published a blog post today about my entire process of capturing these videos and getting the MediaGoblin solution to work:

I also published a tutorial that shows the commands and source code I use to get the MediaGoblin portion of the solution working:

Thanks to the MediaGoblin developers for making this possible! Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks,

Michael Lynch
