Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

ytptube

YTPTube — a web UI and scheduler for yt-dlp. Queue and manage downloads, save format/quality presets, subscribe to channels/playlists for automatic grabs, and pull video or audio from thousands of supported sites — all from a clean browser interface. A feature-rich take on MeTube.

Single host-networked Nomad service with config and downloads volumes.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run ytptube --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`8081`	Web UI port.
`image`	`ghcr.io/arabcoders/ytptube:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`ytptube_data`	`/config` — settings, presets and the queue database.
`downloads_volume`	`ytptube_downloads`	`/downloads` — downloaded media (`files/` + `tmp/`).
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

On first launch you create a local account. A prestart init task creates files/ and tmp/ under /downloads and chowns both volumes to uid 1000. Pairs with a media server like jellyfin or navidrome. Pin the job to the node holding the volumes with constraints.
