ytdlweb

A little web front-end for youtube-dl. Note this tool only downloads the video to the server, not the client. In my case I like to use Nextcloud to synchronise the videos to my local machines.

Running

Basic example:

docker build -t ytdlweb .
docker run --name ytdlweb -p 80:3000 -v ~/ytdl:/ytdlweb/downloads -d ytdlweb

This will start the web server on http://localhost and provide the host machine access to the downloads at ~/ytdl.

Optional Configuration

If you like, you can configure the following environment variables:

  • LISTEN_ADDR - the address that the http server will listen on. Default: :3000.
  • WORKER_COUNT - the max no. of videos that can be downloaded simultaneously. Default: 4.

Disclaimer

This is a personal project that I provide no guarantees for. It is certainly not "production ready". At minimum I'd recommend running it behind a reverse proxy with basic authentication and only granting access to trustworthy friends.
