A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is there a self-hosted downloader that would automatically download liked videos or the ones added to a specific playlist?

Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!

The sound of "cronjob" made him horny.

They found the way you wrote "Yt-dlp and a cron job" sexually appealing, and went to havd some fun rub... uh, installing.

They read the sentence "Yt-dlp and a cron job" which triggered a hormonal reaction in their brain which they linked to arousal due to prior experience. They used this as an opportunity to retreat to a more private setting and indulge in auto erotic stimulation.

See if ytdl-sub is what you want.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Seconded ytdl-sub, especially if you want them to work flawlessly with Kodi/Plex/Jellyfin (integrated into the library etc) Other than that, tubesync is nice and has a decent web ui too.

I've been using Pinchflat for a while and so far it's been great for me. It can automatically rescan the channel or playlist on a defined time (like every day or every week), and download new videos. It uses yt-dlp so you can configure all the parameters you want it to use for the download

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

yea pinchflat has been easy to setup
also adding the videos to Jellyfin was easier than expected

Metube might be right for you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Metube is great and also has some browser plugins as well so it's as simple as right click and send to metube on a YouTube link. Wish there was one for android too but alas not yet that I have seen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I use yt-dlp and a bash script running from cron

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Some fork of youtube-dl would probably do. Personally I use JDownloader 2 (open source) to download not just from youtube but from any other sites as well. It runs locally.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

+1 for MeTube. its easy to set up, works out-of-the-box for the unraid docker container (unlike others)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm having success with TubeSync through docker compose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That’s what I use with success for about a year now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

You could try out something I whipped up for this and see if it works for you: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I like metube from a manually curated list

Liked videos or added to playlist requires Google login on both the viewer and the downloader and for me that is unacceptable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I use pytube and a python script I have been growing and adding features for a while. Lots of examples for you to make something that suits your own needs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I use Metube

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Jeeaaasus has a docker image on github
