youtube-dl front end
Or vackup (Video bACKUP).
what
An over-engineered solution to download movies from Youtube (and the other platforms supported by youtube-dl) directly to my raspberry-pi, because I found tiresome to ssh to it to download something when using my phone.
components
- flask app, listening on port 5000
- celery
- redis
- flower (to monitor tasks), listening on port 5555
how to run
Make sure you've modified docker-compose.yml to match your directory where you store your videos, then:
git clone https://github.com/lvm/vackup \
&& cd vackup \
&& docker-compose up --build -d
Yes, you need to have docker (18.09+) and docker-compose (1.24+).
now what
Once it's running, point your browser to http://you-raspi.local:5000/ and submit a video, it'll start downloading soon.
The UI is really basic (front-end is not my thing) but you'll see these two status:
- 🙆 if the task was created fine (with a link to it)
- 🙅 if the task failed
something's not working...
- you can check what's going on here with your tasks here:
http://you-raspi.local:5555/ - or you can look at the logs by ssh-ing to your raspi and run
docker-compose logs -f $service
Note: $service represents one of the services listed in the docker-compose.yml file (flask, queue, monitor, redis)
license
yes.
