yt-dlp-server
=================

Interface and code forked from [`manbearwiz/youtube-dl-server`](https://github.com/manbearwiz/youtube-dl-server) to provide a single location to save YouTube videos as MP3s using [`bottle`](https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle) + [`yt-dlp`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).

Also includes an option to use a YouTube API key to search for videos and automagically download the top result as an MP3

How to use this image
---------------------

### Run on host networking

This example uses host networking for simplicitly. Also note the `-v` argument. This directory will be used to output the resulting videos

```
sudo docker run -d --net="host" --name yt-dlp-server -v /yt-dlp:/yt-dlp ghcr.io/frznman/yt-dlp-server:latest
```

### Start a download remotely

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

#### HTML

Just navigate to `http://{{address}}:8080/yt` and enter the requested `{{url}}`.

#### Curl

```
curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url={{url}}" http://{{address}}:8080/yt/q
```

### Search for a video

Searches can be triggered by supplying the `{{artist}}`, `{{title}}`, and `{{album}}` through the Web UI or through the REST interface via curl, etc.

#### Curl

```
curl -X POST --data-urlencode "artist={{artist}}" --data-urlencode "title={{title}}" --data-urlencode "album={{album}}" http://{{address}}:8080/yt/search
```

Implementation
--------------

The server uses [`bottle`](https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle) for the web framework and [`yt-dlp`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) to handle the downloading.

This docker image is based on [`python:3-onbuild`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/python/) and consequently [`debian:buster`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/library/debian/).

There is now a start-up script that updates all pip libraries so you'll always have the latest version of yt-dlp. To update, just restart the docker container.
