Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

In all seriousness, I couldn’t find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It’s still fairly rough, but it works, and i’d love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

services:
    pytube-gui:
        container_name: pytube-gui
        image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
        ports:
            - 8501:8501
        volumes:
            - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

I use Seal on Android and yt-dlp-gui on Linux because they’re native apps using native theming/design languages, but it’s always cool to have another option!

+1 for yt-dlp
