Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

In all seriousness, I couldn't find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It's still fairly rough, but it works, and i'd love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

services:
    pytube-gui:
        container_name: pytube-gui
        image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
        ports:
            - 8501:8501
        volumes:
            - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

TubeArchivist sounds like a better fit for that.

A simple cron job with youtube-dl works also fine.

Edit: But thanks for your suggestion! I'll take a look

Edit 2: TubeArchivist looks nice, but way over my personal needs. Also, its performance requirements are quite high for my small server (4 Cores, 4 GB RAM). I'll keep my small, scripted solution (yt-dl + store to nextcloud folders).
