splazit/youtube-dl-ui repository overview

⁠TL;DR Why choose this

This fork also builds upon the current infrastructure to provide an experience where the user can search youtube and view the thumbnail & title and choose to download a video. This project is forked from recodeuk⁠ and heavily based on youtube-dl⁠

⁠Running

⁠Docker CLI

This example uses the docker run command to create the container to run the app. Here we also use host networking for simplicity. Also note the -v argument. This directory will be used to output the resulting videos

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name youtube-dl -v /home/core/youtube-dl:/youtube-dl splazit/youtube-dl-ui

⁠Usage

⁠Start a download remotely

Downloads can be triggered by supplying the youtube url of the requested video through the Web UI or through the REST interface via curl, etc.

⁠Web browser

Just navigate to http://localhost:8080/youtube-dl

⁠Curl

curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url=<youtube url>" http://localhost:8080/youtube-dl/q

⁠Fetch

fetch(`http://${host}:8080/youtube-dl/q`, {
  method: "POST",
  body: new URLSearchParams({
    url: url,
    format: "bestvideo"
  }),
});
