Is there white-label open source (i.e. host it yourself) video hosting services like Vimeo / Mux / YouTube / NetFlix? The closest I found was NodeTube but I think it would need a UX/UI redesign before govts or universities would be ready to deploy it on their own.

Fwiw, universities have long paid for their own white label YouTube clones from various companies; at a bare minimum Canvas has been around forever. It just wasn't free (as in beer or otherwise).

There's peertube [0], which was built to defend against arbitrary censorship.

> PeerTube aspires to be a decentralized and free/libre alternative to video broadcasting services.

> Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. Each instance hosts its users and their videos. In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators.

There's Odysee based on LBRY, but I don't know if LBRY is here to stay. It's hard to tell with new Blockchains like that. I have to imagine running a node is expensive too.
