Download, shape, share
fetchly turns yt-dlp into a self-hosted media workspace. Pick formats in a web UI,
follow every job live, trim audio visually, find its tempo, create stems, and share
finished downloads without handing your media to another service.
Features
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| Download everywhere | Save video or audio from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook in one place. |
| Stay in control | Follow every job from a live dashboard, from queued through downloading and analysis to finished, cancelled, or failed. |
| Choose your quality | Pick the quality you want, then decide what the highest tier produces: H.264 for files that play everywhere, AV1 for the smallest files, or the untouched source for the best resolution. |
| Brand every video | Burn the fetchly logo — or your own uploaded SVG or PNG — and your hostname, once set, into the corner of every downloaded video, or switch it off. |
| Trim with precision | Cut audio visually with an interactive waveform before you download or process it further. |
| Find the tempo | Analyze BPM and beat confidence, then use the result to guide audio trimming. |
| Create clean stems | Connect Lalal.ai to separate vocals and instrumentals when you need production-ready tracks. |
| Share what you made | Send friends and family a share link to a finished download — no account needed on their side, with an optional limit on how many times it can be used. |
| Keep it private | Run everything yourself with persistent storage, authentication, CSRF protection, anti-bot checks, and login rate limiting. |
| Ready to run | Get the complete application and its required dependencies in one Docker image. |

Quickstart
Docker is the recommended way to run fetchly. The image (Docker Hub) bundles ffmpeg, yt-dlp, yt-dlp-ejs, and deno — nothing else to install.
Docker Compose
# compose.yaml
services:
fetchly:
image: giiibates/fetchly:latest
container_name: fetchly
restart: unless-stopped
stop_grace_period: 20s
ports:
# Loopback until the admin account exists — a port published without a
# host address is reachable from the whole network.
- "127.0.0.1:8000:8000"
environment:
FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY: ${FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY:?generate with: openssl rand -base64 32}
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
export FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -base64 32)"
docker compose up -d
A fuller compose file with logging, timezone, and reverse-proxy notes lives in the repository's Docker Compose file.
Open http://127.0.0.1:8000 and create an admin account in Settings → Security.
Only then widen the port binding (0.0.0.0:8000:8000) or put fetchly behind a
reverse proxy. stop_grace_period stays above the container's 15 s graceful
shutdown so the SQLite WAL checkpoint completes.
