Make Alltube publicly available?

[jdaviescoates]

It annoys me that I have to login to my install of Alltube (especially as the pop up login screen doesn't let me open nor browse to another tab so I can't get to lastpass and get my password) - I'd prefer it to just be publicly available, is this possible?

(I would've posted this in the Alltube App category, but it doesn't exist yet )

Nice if it operated as Searx, without need for logins.

@jdaviescoates If you would like, I can fork the app to disable the Basic HTTP login mechanism built into the app. Just note that if this is done, anyone can use your server resources to download YouTube (and other sites) videos.

[jdaviescoates]

@murgero thanks! But I'd much rather this option be added to the official app if at all possible @girish @nebulon ?

That way if other people using it ever became a problem then it could simply be turned back on.

As @Hillside502 points out searx is already publicly open by default.

I concur with this: I defaulted to user alltube.org instead for now.

The main problem for me is that the user/password can't even be autofilled with password managers because it's an alert box.

@jdaviescoates @ruihildt It looks like the app package itself has support for non-ldap login but @nebulon forgot a flag in the manifest. I will publish a new version.

[girish]

Done. @jdaviescoates @ruihildt Just re-install the app and choose 'leave user management to the app' when installing.

As for the auto-fill issue, we used to have an oauth proxy before which we removed long time ago. We can instead now implement an LDAP proxy which puts a web based login form in front of the app. No ETA but I put a suggestion here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/674

@girish excellent, thanks!

Just reinstalled and all sorted

Going to reinstall also and since the domain is not searchable by google/bots, someone really need to scan the entire domain to find that this tool is there, works for me

Hi @jdaviescoates How did you get this to work? I keep getting errors like below. If I can't get it to work, and indeed it will download only to my laptop only, I am going to just uninstall this.

@scooke Can you try re-installing? Not seen this error before.

[scooke]

@girish Actually, if it only preps a link to then download to my device then it isn't something I'd need. I've unfortunately already uninstalled it and I don't think I will reinstall. Sorry.

Hi @jdaviescoates How did you get this to work?

I didn't do anything. Just installed it and it worked. But yes, I just download things onto my local machine.
