Self-hosted YouTube downloader built on Material Design
YoutubeDL-Material is a Material Design frontend for youtube-dl. It's coded using Angular 11 for the frontend, and Node.js on the backend.
Now with Docker support!
Check out the prerequisites, and go to the installation section. Easy as pie!
Here's an image of what it'll look like once you're done:
Dark mode:
NOTE: If you would like to use Docker, you can skip down to the Docker section for a setup guide.
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install nodejs youtube-dl ffmpeg
CentOS 7:
sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm sudo yum install centos-release-scl-rh sudo yum install rh-nodejs12 scl enable rh-nodejs12 bash sudo yum install nodejs youtube-dl ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
Optional dependencies:
atomicparsley)
First, download the latest release!
Drag the
youtubedl-materialdirectory to an easily accessible directory. Navigate to the
appdatafolder and edit the
default.jsonfile.
NOTE: If you are intending to use a reverse proxy, this next step is not necessary
Port forward the port listed in
default.json, which defaults to
17442.
Once the configuration is done, run
npm installto install all the backend dependencies. Once that is finished, type
npm start. This will run the backend server, which serves the frontend as well. On your browser, navigate to to the server (url with the specified port). Try putting in a youtube link to see if it works. If it does, viola! YoutubeDL-Material is now up and running.
If you experience problems, know that it's usually caused by a configuration problem. The first thing you should do is check the console. To get there, right click anywhere on the page and click "Inspect element." Then on the menu that pops up, click console. Look at the error there, and try to investigate.
If you'd like to install YoutubeDL-Material, go to the Installation section. If you want to build it yourself and/or develop the repository, then this section is for you.
To deploy, simply clone the repository, and go into the
youtubedl-materialdirectory. Type
npm installand all the dependencies will install. Then type
cd backendand again type
npm installto install the dependencies for the backend.
Once you do that, you're almost up and running. All you need to do is edit the configuration in
youtubedl-material/appdata, go back into the
youtubedl-materialdirectory, and type
ng build --prod. This will build the app, and put the output files in the
youtubedl-material/backend/publicfolder.
The frontend is now complete. The backend is much easier. Just go into the
backendfolder, and type
npm start.
Finally, if you want your instance to be available from outside your network, you can set up a reverse proxy.
Alternatively, you can port forward the port specified in the config (defaults to
17442) and point it to the server's IP address. Make sure the port is also allowed through the server's firewall.
If you are looking to setup YoutubeDL-Material with Docker, this section is for you. And you're in luck! Docker setup is quite simple.
curl -L https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.ymlto download the latest Docker Compose, or go to the releases page to grab the version you'd like.
docker-compose pull. This will download the official YoutubeDL-Material docker image.
docker-compose upto start it up. If successful, it should say "HTTP(S): Started on port 17443" or something similar. This tells you the container-internal port of the application. Please check your
docker-compose.ymlfile for the external port. If you downloaded the file as described above, it defaults to 8998.
NOTE: It is currently recommended that you use the
nightlytag on Docker. To do so, simply update the docker-compose.yml
imagefield so that it points to
tzahi12345/youtubedl-material:nightly.
By default, the Docker container runs as non-root with UID=1000 and GID=1000. To set this to your own UID/GID, simply update the
environmentsection in your
docker-compose.ymllike so:
environment: UID: YOUR_UID GID: YOUR_GID
To get started, go to the settings menu and enable the public API from the Extra tab. You can generate an API key if one is missing.
Once you have enabled the API and have the key, you can start sending requests by adding the query param
apiKey=API_KEY. Replace
API_KEYwith your actual API key, and you should be good to go! Nearly all of the backend should be at your disposal. View available endpoints in the link above.

Pull requests are always appreciated! If you're a bit rusty with coding, that's no problem: we can always help you learn. And if that's too scary, that's OK too! You can create issues for features you'd like to see or bugs you encounter, it all helps this project grow.
