Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Damn that looks cool. I'm disappointed in how many projects are only for Docker though :(
Docker is a bit of a pain to learn but it really helps once you start figuring things out!
I agree. I am forced to use dockers with Unraid and I really don't like them. For me, the benefits are very limited compared to the extra hassle. I think they have become so popular on Linux because they sidestep so many issues related to distro fragmentation. This is yet another example of how the "freedom" of Linux prevents long term innovation and general OS improvements. Especially in terms of UX.
How would one connect this to jellyfin while preserving thumbnails etc?
Pinchflat allows to download and/or embed thumbnails and subtitles, as well as creates nfo files. I am using it together with Jellyfin and it works totally fine
It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.
You're looking for TubeArchivist
I second this. Tube archivist is amazing and it integrates well with jellyfin
It also has a Firefox extension that add download and subscribe buttons for Tubearchivist directly on youtube website.
ytdl-sub is by far the lightest weight of all of them.
4k-videodownloader does this. Only paid version, but it's a one time payment of 5 dollars or something like that.
YoutubeDL-Material would fit the bill
I've been using Tubesync but the pinch one linked looks much cooler and easier
Yeah I switched from tubesync to pinchflat and haven’t looked back. Much more friendly UI.
Was it easy to get something like plex to have it show up correctly? I remember it was a pain to get tubesync to name things in a way that plex accepted it
Yeah much easier, that’s why I switched, I can’t quite remember the specifics now because it’s just worked for the past few months but it lets you set up the file naming and folder structure in a way that Plex can handle.
Definitly look at pinchflat. Does exactly this. :) Easy to set up, and it runs so smoothly !
I moved from TubeArchivist to Pinchflat. Very good.
Why the switch?
It's much more lightweight, handles Plex integration much better and automatically cuts out ads, promotions, etc.
Any way to get YouTube's recommendations as well, and not just subscriptions? I mainly watch stuff from my recommendations, which are usually exactly what I want to see. Been honing my alg for decades. 😅
