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'll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?
yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID's into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.
I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.
I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)
