I’m looking for a server I can host in my home that has a simple ui where I can put in URLs for download and have them all show up on my Jellyfin. Bonus if there is VPN support.

Update: Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Several projects to check out: youtube-dl, pinchflat, ytptube, metube, tubearchivist, yt-dlp-webui, ytzero, igloo

      Pinchflat isn’t being maintained and has a few annoying bugs already.

      Someone was working on a “community maintained” fork that had a bunch of fixes and new features and were also working on a hard fork with even more features but then last week they abruptly overwrote the history of the repo so there’s nothing but a script to migrate back to the main pinchflat. They also deleted all the packages which means docker pull now errors if you have their version. Thankfully someone had a fork of that one saved but the person who saved the fork doesn’t have the programming skills to continue development so we’re back to it not being maintained.

      I’d like to second pinchflat. It’s great. I have it set up to monitor certain channels but also have it set up to monitor a playlist. Anything I add to the playlist gets auto downloaded. I don’t even have to log into it really it just works.
