How much storage do you think you'll need with caching external content? Does Peertube even do that?
Not automatically, but you can configure it to mirror certain video channels or individual videos. But I have not looked into that too much yet.
As for storage: a typical video you would find on such a platform with the different stored video resolutions and so on will take between 0.5 and 3 GB... depending on the length and how well it compresses.
