Im working on a streaming service (like Netflix), but how do I create a server/database,
by server I mean a place to store the video files, and once created how do I link it to bubble.io.

Hi there. Did you watch any tutorial videos on creating a new site?

i know how to make the site but i would like to know how (if possible) to source the video from my server

I have to do a similar app to Netflix for a client.
We are going to use API.video for hosting the videos there

do you know of anything on the cheaper side?

As simple as api.video nope.

But you could host your videos then in AWS, firebase or another cloud hosting service.

I believe they would be cheaper.

The problem with hosting videos is the file size of them. I personally like supabase and rails app for hosting SQL databases, but the file upload size is quite limiting

After looking for a while I decided API.video was the best one.

For a cheaper option maybe you can use something like Vimeo private. And create a database item with a link to it. And users can click to watch it there or embed it onto your page?
