Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p
In all seriousness, I couldn’t find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It’s still fairly rough, but it works, and i’d love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.
services:
pytube-gui:
container_name: pytube-gui
image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
ports:
- 8501:8501
volumes:
- /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go
Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

Why is this always the top comment when somebody makes something with the same functionality as another service?
It’s just good there are some different options, maybe the UI is better, better tech stack, more responsive dev, who knows.
Some people see “free stuff”, and assume that it’s now open season on wasting OP’s time.
It’s a good way to kill any enthusiasm. Imagine your kid made a spaghetti portrait as a gift for you and instead of just accepting it you asked, “but what exactly did you do differently from all kids on the block?”
In this particular case, OP said none of the others met their needs. I would like to know what new functionality this one has to know if it’s something I’m interested in or not. It’s not a critique - it’s helping me understand if I want to check it out or not.
I gave a fuller answer here, but i also wanted to be able to run a solution in docker that could output straight to my NAS via volumes.
