All the public Piped instances are getting blocked by YouTube but do small selfhosted instances, that are only used by a handful of users or just yourself, still working? Thinking of just selfhosting it.

On a side note, if I do it, I’d also like to install the new EFY redesign or is that branch too far behind?

Edit: As you can see in the replies, private instances still work. I also found the instructions for running the new EFY redesign here

Usually you’ll just need the official Docker. It contains the frontend, backend and proxy. Technically, you only need the backend right now. But lifting the load of the official servers by using a selfhosted frontend is probably beneficial too, with no drawbacks. However, the proxy is the thing anonymizing you - accessing youtube always through it, even on the go, will deanonymize you further (kinda, it’s still better than the official app). If you have a list of proxies you can rotate through, you would be anonymous again.
Then there are other components, that you can find through the larger config file of the main Piped-Backend or TeamPiped’s GH profile itself. But again: Stuff like RYD-proxy will only be anonymous and beneficial with a rotating IP/proxy. But https://github.com/TeamPiped/region-restriction-checker is good to selfhost, as (afaik) it will help decentralize to circumvent censorship (zB. uHrHEbErRecHTsvERletZUnG die Ratten). But in order to configure your instance to use the region-restriction-checker, you’ll need the larger and more complete config file.

ZL;NG:

https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Docker reicht eigentlich. Sonst einfach die einzelnen Repos angucken, was sich gut anhört. Proxy Zeug nur selber hosten wenns nicht um Privacy geht oder die IP verschleiert wird.

Wegen dem letzten Part, es geht zwar schon um privacy, aber dadurch, dass ich momentan YouTube direkt nutzen muss, weil die Piped instances nicht funktionieren, ist es halt immer noch besser. Außerdem hab ich angefangen nen GTK 4 Piped client zu schreiben und ich muss das halt auch iwie testen können.

In dem Fall, der einfachheit und sicherheit halber: Einfach den https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Docker.git clonen, nach Anleitung configurieren und starten.

Hab ich tatsächlich schon gemacht, aber iwie funktioniert das noch nicht ganz. Weil ich selber nicht rausfinden konnte warum, hab ich grad nen post gemacht wo ich nach Hilfe frage.

Create a post

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:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
