I know you mentioned invidious going dark, but self hosting it is a piece of cake honestly so you don’t have to worry about the flakiness of other people’s servers. And the script is so easy to use. I ran this for a long time on a Rock64 with 1GB of RAM with no issues until I switched to Proxmox.

Invidious is constantly updated and new releases posted. If you’re looking at github for your release info, they’ve moved to quay long ago. I’m currently on 2023.11.04-438467f6 @ master. Tell me what you were hosting it on before and what you think you would be hosting it on now and maybe I can help if you feel you had problems in the past. It has come a long way since 2019. Also, do you have a link to your IP’s TOS? I can look over it really quick and see if they would have a problem with it.

No problem. I will say one thing for future reference regarding Docker though, if you want to have persistent data or move data or keep data around so that it can be mounted to another container, volumes are what accomplishes this. If using a docker command for starting a container, make sure you either create a volume first or the command includes the option to create a volume and mount it. If using compose, you want a volume block within the compose file to store your persistent data. This will make your life much easier.

Well if you are really interested there are free docker courses like learndocker.online that can help.
Greyjay is great, but only mobile app sadly, no hosted browser version.
For now I just have piped to save playlists in (you dont even need an account for that) but every instance I’ve tried goes dark more and more often each month. Great alternative and I wish all the best to everyone working on it, including the hosters but Freetube works pretty much without issues for many months now.
except that a change on Youtube’s backend can definitely make it go dark all of a sudden. it happens every now and then with Newpipe.

This is a frustration. I’m sure there’s a fork with play lists. One second…
No. I am sorry. I must be wrong. It might have been a newpipe fork.

There are many requests to get them to sync, and I believe that eventually, it will happen.

That’s all there really is. It’s easy enough to just try these. I’ve been looking to set up a local piped instance but the android app still needs some work.
I’m not aware of any other usable tool worth using apart from yt-dlp’ing everything and watching locally I guess?
