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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Just installed Viewtube. What's your favorite alternative youtube frontend ? (self.selfhosted)

I used a public instance of Piped for a while and thought about selfhosting it, but the installation process was incredibly hard, to the point of being obnoxious, and in the end, it didn't even work. I liked the features I saw on the public instances and would like to revisit it some time. Until there I'm using Viewtube. Installation was a breeze and it looks pretty nice.

Do you have some other YT frontend that we could try, post it here and tell us how easy/difficult it is to run and your opinion about it.

I've hosted invidious relatively easy for a while now. Simple UI and just works. If anyone needs my compose and config setup, reply and I'll post it.

It would be great if you can post the compose and comfigs!

Are there any minimum requirements?
