tenseiken/patreon-dl repository overview

⁠patreon-dl⁠ Containerized

Docker container which runs patreon-dl⁠.

⁠Specs and Features

• Base: node⁠:lts
• Supports amd64.
• Designed to run patreon-dl⁠ unattended.

⁠Documentation

There are a few requirements you'll want to be aware of when spinning up a container.

• Make sure you provide the PUID and PGID environment variables to your container. These are the user and group ID numbers for the user you want to own the files that get downloaded. You can get them by running id $USER on your host system that runs Docker.
• You must provide 2 volumes to the container:
  • The location to where you want files to be stored on your host machine:
    • "/path/to/download/dir:/Patreon/Download"
  • The location of your patreon-dl.conf file on your host machine:
    • "/path/to/patreon-dl.conf:/Patreon/patreon-dl.conf"

⁠patreon-dl.conf

I recommend starting from the example file⁠. The main things you need to modify are the target.url and cookie values. With those values filled in properly to the example config, it should be capable of downloading all files hosted by Patreon itself, in addition to embedded videos from YouTube and Vimeo. Info about how to fill these in properly can be found here⁠. Info about how to get the cookie value in the first place can be found here⁠.

⁠Credits

• This is all based on the original repo, patreon-dl⁠. Nothing here would be possible without it.
