Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have a self-hosted instance running for about the past 3-4 years. But pulling new PO Tokens isn't working anymore so my instance is kind of broken right now.
To be frank, it's unlikely you'll get a running instance operational at this point unless something changes.
Edit: You have to rotate IP addresses when the PO Token problem happens. But it's a gamble if the next IP you get from your ISP will be allowed by Youtube.
nadeko.net does this often. They are getting about $350 per month as contributions. These things are costly.
I run a private instance and it works like 98% of the time. Every once in a while YouTube changes something and I have to update my images or change from latest to master tags.
Here is my docker-compose.yml, I'm not sure how it translates to podman but maybe it'll look similar.
There are 6 CHANGEME in the file that you would need to change with your info. The 2 that are for the companion must be the same 20 (I think) character key. I just generated one like it said in the instructions. The hmac key should be a separate 20 (I think) character key. Then just update your domain names and the admin account.
Hopefully this will help you out.
Thanks everyone for the support. Thinks look really tricky with invidious, and I'm thinking to stay with the public instances :)
