What’s a good way to have a simple self hosted (in Docker would be nice) web interface for starting yt-dlp jobs?

Preferably, I would like to have pre-defined yt-dlp commands and in the interface I can just add an URL and select which command to chose.

I know I could also use JDownloader or other tools to download the media, but I specifically would like to use yt-dlp because I have multiple use case commands already defined.

Thanks for the help!

I like MeTube. It can download from a ton of sources, not just YouTube.

I use it all the time to rip videos from tiktok or Instagram whenever my friends share something with me, since I don’t use those services.

Thanks, this looks promising, especially the YTDL_OPTIONS variable. I’ll give it a try

Nice, I think switching to this. If I made yt playlist would it download it automatically each time I add a video to the playlist?

I don’t think it monitors stuff consistently, or if it does, I don’t know how to utilize it.

YouTubeDL-Material supports playlists and subscriptions.

I was using tubesync for awhile. It would download once a day iirc. Just throwing that out there if anyone wanted that.

This seems more on par with my use though.

I whipped up a basic page with PHP and just used XAMPP when I was on Windows. I recently switched my daily driver pc to linux and haven’t updated it yet. I only used it to save MP3s, videos at yt-dlp default “best available” settings, and a custom option that lists available video/audio formats where I can specify the ID to grab of each. No validation or sanity checking etc, just some switch statements and basic form functions.

This really needs better language on the Lemmy side, even knowing what it does it’s very confusing.
