Selfhosted youtube-like media/social-media platform? (alien.top)

I am thinking of building a media-sharing platform... Big part of the platform will be storing/playing media, so wanted to ask if there are any open source solutions any of you can think of that I can use for this, or to kick start me in some direction.

Thanks.

the above calculation is with hls segments, but if you go the simple route and create mp4 videos, the cost to serve a million views can come down to 0.36$.
