Setup

For security reasons regarding CORS, your hosted instance of Materialious must serve as the value for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on Invidious.

Invidious doesn't provide a simple way to modify CORS, so this must be done with your reverse proxy.

Step 1: Reverse proxy

Caddy example

invidious.example.com {
	@cors_preflight {
		method OPTIONS
	}
	respond @cors_preflight 204

	header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
        header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://materialious.example.com" {
		defer
	}
        header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET,POST,OPTIONS,HEAD,PATCH,PUT,DELETE"
        header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "User-Agent,Authorization,Content-Type"

	reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}

materialious.example.com {
	reverse_proxy localhost:3001
}

Nginx example

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name invidious.example.com;

    location / {
        if ($request_method = OPTIONS) {
            return 204;
        }

        proxy_hide_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://materialious.example.com" always;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD, PATCH, PUT, DELETE" always;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "User-Agent, Authorization, Content-Type" always;

        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name materialious.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
    }
}

Traefik example

Add this middleware to your Invidious instance:

http:
  middlewares:
    materialious:
      headers:
        accessControlAllowCredentials: true
        accessControlAllowOriginList: "https://materialious.example.com"
        accessControlAllowMethods:
          - GET
          - POST
          - OPTIONS
          - HEAD
          - PATCH
          - PUT
          - DELETE
        accessControlAllowHeaders: 
          - User-Agent
          - Authorization 
          - Content-Type

Other

Please open a PR request or issue if you implement this in a different reverse proxy.

Step 2: Invidious config

The following Invidious values must be set in your config.

• domain: - The reverse proxied domain of your Invidious instance.
• https_only: true - Must be set if you are using HTTPS.
• external_port: 443 - Must be set if you are using HTTPS.

Step 3: Docker

Please ensure you have followed the previous steps before doing this!

version: "3"
services:
  materialious:
    image: wardpearce/materialious:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3001:80
    environment:
      # No trailing backslashes!
      # URL to your proxied Invidious instance
      VITE_DEFAULT_INVIDIOUS_INSTANCE: "https://invidious.materialio.us"

      # URL TO RYD
      # Leave blank to disable completely.
      VITE_DEFAULT_RETURNYTDISLIKES_INSTANCE: "https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com"

      # URL to your proxied instance of Materialious
      VITE_DEFAULT_FRONTEND_URL: "https://materialio.us"

      # URL to Sponsorblock
      # Leave blank to completely disable sponsorblock.
      VITE_DEFAULT_SPONSERBLOCK_INSTANCE: "https://sponsor.ajay.app"

      # URL to DeArrow
      VITE_DEFAULT_DEARROW_INSTANCE: "https://sponsor.ajay.app"

      # URL to DeArrow thumbnail instance
      VITE_DEFAULT_DEARROW_THUMBNAIL_INSTANCE: "https://dearrow-thumb.ajay.app"

Step 4 (Optional, but recommended): Self-host RYD-Proxy

Step 1: Docker compose

Add the following to your docker compose file.

With TOR (Recommended)

tor-proxy:
  image: 1337kavin/alpine-tor:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  environment:
    - tors=15

ryd-proxy:
  image: 1337kavin/ryd-proxy:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  depends_on:
    - tor-proxy
  environment:
    - PROXY=socks5://tor-proxy:5566
  ports:
    - 3003:3000

Without TOR

ryd-proxy:
  image: 1337kavin/ryd-proxy:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  ports:
    - 3003:3000

Step 2:

Reverse proxy RYD-Proxy.

Caddy example

ryd-proxy.example.com {
  header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://materialious.example.com" {
      defer
  }
  header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET,OPTIONS"
  reverse_proxy localhost:3003
}

Nginx example

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ryd-proxy.example.com;

    location / {
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://materialious.example.com" always;
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS" always;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3003;
    }
}

Traefik example

Add this middleware to your RYD-Proxy instance:

http:
  middlewares:
    ryd-proxy:
      headers:
        accessControlAllowOriginList: "https://materialious.example.com"
        accessControlAllowMethods:
          - GET
          - OPTIONS

Step 3:

Modify/add VITE_DEFAULT_RETURNYTDISLIKES_INSTANCE for Materialious to be the reverse proxied URL of RYD-Proxy.

Step 5 (Optional, but recommended): Self-host Syncios

Sync your watch progress between Invidious sessions.

Step 1: Docker compose

Add the following to your docker compose

services:
  syncious:
    image: wardpearce/syncious:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3004:80
    environment:
      syncious_postgre: '{"host": "invidious-db", "port": 5432, "database": "invidious", "user": "kemal", "password": "kemal"}'
      syncious_allowed_origins: '["https://materialios.example.com"]'
      syncious_debug: false

      # No trailing backslashes!
      syncious_invidious_instance: "https://invidious.example.com"
      syncious_production_instance: "https://syncious.example.com"

Add these additional environment variables to Materialious.

VITE_DEFAULT_SYNCIOUS_INSTANCE: "https://syncious.example.com"

Step 6 (Optional): Self-host PeerJS

Read the official guide.

Add these additional environment variables to Materialious.

# Will differ depending on how you self-host peerjs.
VITE_DEFAULT_PEERJS_HOST: "peerjs.example.com"
VITE_DEFAULT_PEERJS_PATH: "/"
VITE_DEFAULT_PEERJS_PORT: 443
