Self-host MeTube

A web UI for yt-dlp: paste a link from YouTube or another supported site and it downloads the video or audio to your server, including whole playlists, channels and subscriptions.

Key facts

What you need

• Any VPS with at least 256 MB of RAM
• A domain you control — most self-hosted setups need HTTPS in front of them
• Under an hour if you've used Docker before

Install

Run these commands on your server:

copy# MeTube — the README's quick start
docker run -d --name metube \
  -p 8081:8081 -v ~/metube/downloads:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/alexta69/metube
# open http://SERVER_IP:8081 — it has no login, so keep it behind a firewall or an authenticating proxy
