A self-hosted YouTube archiving application

• Authentification with password, oidc or none
• Full video archiving (video, thumbnail, subtitles, description...)
• Batch archiving of playlists or channels in one go
• YouTube-like interface
• rclone compatible, local file-based storage works with rclone mount

Future features:

• Transcoding
• Dedicated player with chapters integration

Create a config.toml file with this inside:

[server]

listen_addr = ":8080"

real_ip_header = ""

cors_host = "*"

[
[archive]

ytdlp_path = "yt-dlp"

data_dir = "./data"

proxy = ""

[
[auth]

mode = "password" # "password", "oidc", or "none"

password_hash = "bcrypt-password"


#oidc_issuer = "https://auth.example.com"

#oidc_client_id = ""

#oidc_client_secret = ""

#oidc_redirect_url = "https://yourinstance.com/auth/callback"

You can simply start the server with go run .

docker pull ghcr.io/mathiasdpx/archivetube:latest

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v ./data:/app/data \
  -v ./config.toml:/app/config.toml \
  --name archivetube \
  ghcr.io/mathiasdpx/archivetube:latest:latest

services:
   archivetube:
     container_name: archivetube
     image: ghcr.io/mathiasdpx/archivetube:latest
     restart: unless-stopped
     ports:
      -  "8080:8080"
     volumes:
      -  ./data:/app/data
      -  ./config.toml:/app/config.toml

#     - ./cookies.txt:/app/cookies.txt # For using your account's cookies with yt-dlp - Not recommended

Then open http://localhost:8080
