tube site (adult) framework (may be scripts)

hey, curious to know, which frameworks (stack) worked out for people (if anyone has experience with building a site ground up) ? I have looked at scripts for various tube sites and at this point not convinced that i am ready to pull out couple of hundred dollars.

I am looking to most likely embed videos ( not host the actual files).

I am proficient with python (django) and could get away with php. Please share your experiences.

Since you want to save some bucks,
you can just search for suitable sollutin.
And keywords for your search should be >

Free video cms

There are a lot of open source sollutions
mostly written in PHP, so you can lay
your hands on it, since PHP is your choice
from your words.

Really depends on the specifics of what you're looking to do, and how much effort you're willing to put in. If you're looking to keep things simple and have a rather generic tube site, then just going with Django will get the job done. If you're looking to invest your time in something more intricate, then....

Frontend - React or Vue. This will give you a smoother experience updating and managing data, and also make it more feasible to develop single page/interactive websites (like YouTube or Twitch). You'll want webpack and in turn Node.js to write in it, but that's only to compile React/Vue into JavaScript to be used on your site. It might piss you off learning it, but it's quite beneficial.

API (with REST or GraphQL support) - Both Python and PHP will ultimately work. Python is generally a turtle for speed though, and is arguably best suited for scientific stuff, so that's something to keep in mind. Choosing neither and going with a compiled language, such as Go, is also feasible, but it really depends to what extent you're looking to scale and grow.

Database - For databases, something like MySQL or possibly PostgreSQL. Both support relational and non-relational (JSON) operations, which will no doubt come in handy. It seems trendy to go with MongoDB nowadays, but its dominantly non-relational nature will lead to unneeded complexity. But again, it really depends on the specifics of what you're looking to do.

At some point in time, Elasticsearch and Kafka may be relevant if you're looking to do some heavy duty stuff.

A PornHub developer gave an interview where he discussed their stack makeup, among other things. You might find it informative. https://davidwalsh.name/pornhub-interview.

Thanks for the feedback. At this point, i am looking for the quickest turn around time for getting a site up and running. So it wont be feasible to build a completely brand new solution. Honestly, this may sound completely amateurish, but i looked into wordpress as a possible front / backend solution, as it easy to customize and there is a plethora of themes available. Obviously the number one concern with wordpress is security. Any thoughts on wordpress, pros and cons?

Pros/cons when it comes to the quickest turnaround become less relevant. It becomes more about choosing something that just works. Since you mentioned WordPress, it can get the job done pretty quickly so it should fulfill your needs. What are your specific security concerns over it?
