How much does it cost to host your own Peertube instance?
Basically as the title asks. It looks like the .wtf instance is down again, and I'm starting to think more seriously about hosting my own instance. I imagine I'd have to pay for the domain name, and for a server to host it, but are there any Peertube instance hosters that can confirm if there are other costs involved?
Edit: Looks like the .wtf instance is back up, so thanks to the admin for that! However I'd still take any advice I can get on setting up an instance in case it's needed

It probably greatly depends on what you plan to do with your instance.
My instance is just used by me and occasionally my partner and some friends. Running it costs me nothing aside from whatever portion my energy bill is increased by having the container active in my home server. I already had registered my domain for other things, but a domain is $10-$12USD/year, which is basically nothing.
