YTDAlpha

The Alpha of YT-DLP WebUI:

Simple, clean, no pledging and no hazing.

YTDAlpha is a simple, clean web interface for yt-dlp that lets you paste a link and pull the best quality available — fast.

Just paste a URL and let it cook.

Because sometimes you just want the video without writing a CLI thesis.

Features

• Alpha-tier simplicity – Paste link → download → done

• Best quality automatically via yt-dlp

• Clean Web UI — minimal action required

• Docker ready — spin it up in seconds

• No pledging — fully open source and runs on your own machine

Quick Start (Docker):

Spin up the house in one command:

docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 bboymega/ytdalpha:1.6

Then open your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:8080

Or if you're running it on a server:

http://[server-ip]:8080

You should now be able to access the WebUI locally, paste a URL, and chill.
