Tube Archivist is a self-hosted YouTube media server that downloads videos via yt-dlp, indexes them with metadata in Elasticsearch, and serves them through a web interface for searching and playback. It supports channel subscriptions, playlists, watched-state tracking, and integrations with Jellyfin, Plex, and a browser extension.
Use cases
- archive youtube channels for offline viewing
- self-host a personal youtube media server
- download and index youtube videos with metadata
- search my archived video collection
- automatically download new videos from subscribed channels
- play downloaded youtube videos in a web interface
- integrate youtube archive with jellyfin or plex
When to choose
- you want a searchable, self-hosted archive of YouTube videos with a web UI
- you subscribe to channels and want new videos downloaded automatically
- you need offline playback with watched-state tracking and metadata
- you want to expose your archive to Jellyfin or Plex
When to avoid
- you only need a one-off video download without indexing or a server
- you cannot run Docker with several GB of memory including Elasticsearch
- you want a lightweight desktop downloader rather than a full media server stack
