I'm blown away by Piped. I want to thank the devs for a great job. (self.piped)

I did send a donation, but I want to make sure the people involved know I appreciates them.

I set up an instance and have been using it along with a couple friends. It's fast, private and doesn't have a bunch of algo bullshit wasting our time. I have my subs and I watch them, and then I go and touch grass because I'm not sitting there watching trash that is being pushed at me on the feed.

It's like a breath of fresh air.

I just wish I was smart enough to setup my own instance :(

What do you not know?

Very one has to start somewhere. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about hosting this.

Same, I setup insidious on my homelab last night and had it proxing publicly through webmin in pretty short order. Works pretty well but the 1080p limits on videos that are 4k in YouTube is disappointing

Tried piped self hosting tonight to see if it solved the video quality problem but I never got past the alpine apache do ker container restarting endlessly complaining about my hostname

i haven't been trying to install piped, but in general your problem should be fixed by adding a -H [hostname] to your docker command to tel the container what hostname it has. you might need it to match whatever gets mounted at /etc/apache inside the container
