A self-hosted web UI and RPC server wrapping yt-dlp, written in Go, for downloading videos from a server or NAS and monitoring upcoming livestreams. It is lightweight, extensible, and ships as a Docker image with features like download queues, format selection, and JWT-based authentication.
Use cases
- download youtube videos from my home server
- self-hosted yt-dlp web interface
- monitor upcoming livestreams and record them
- queue video downloads with limited concurrency
- extract audio from videos on my nas
- remote video download server with rpc api
- run yt-dlp on a raspberry pi with a web ui
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted frontend for yt-dlp on a server, NAS, or Raspberry Pi
- you need a download queue with concurrency limits and format/audio extraction options
- you want an RPC API to trigger downloads programmatically with optional JWT auth
- you prefer Docker deployment with minimal resource usage
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured media manager with metadata editing or library organization
- you want a desktop GUI application rather than a web interface
- you need to download from services yt-dlp itself does not support
- you require a polished, actively designed frontend - the UI is intentionally minimal
