Web interface for yt-dlp? (lemmy.world)

What's a good way to have a simple self hosted (in Docker would be nice) web interface for starting yt-dlp jobs?

Preferably, I would like to have pre-defined yt-dlp commands and in the interface I can just add an URL and select which command to chose.

I know I could also use JDownloader or other tools to download the media, but I specifically would like to use yt-dlp because I have multiple use case commands already defined.

Thanks for the help!

I like MeTube. It can download from a ton of sources, not just YouTube.

I use it all the time to rip videos from tiktok or Instagram whenever my friends share something with me, since I don't use those services.

Thanks, this looks promising, especially the YTDL_OPTIONS variable. I'll give it a try

Nice, I think switching to this. If I made yt playlist would it download it automatically each time I add a video to the playlist?

I don't think it monitors stuff consistently, or if it does, I don't know how to utilize it.

YouTubeDL-Material supports playlists and subscriptions.

I was using tubesync for awhile. It would download once a day iirc. Just throwing that out there if anyone wanted that.

This seems more on par with my use though.
