hridoy3519/youtube-dl repository overview

⁠yt-dlp Docker Image

This image packages yt-dlp into a Docker container, allowing you to download videos without installing yt-dlp locally.

⁠How to run

Run the container and pass the video URL as an argument:

docker run hridoy3519/youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"

⚠️ If the URL contains &, it must be wrapped in quotes to avoid shell issues.

Example:

docker run hridoy3519/youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"

Save downloads to your machine

By default, downloaded files stay inside the container. To save them to your local machine, mount the current directory:

docker run -v "$(pwd):/mydir" hridoy3519/youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
