Invidious: an alternative front-end to YouTube

[Kubernetes]

I tried to create a initial package, but they use tools like shards and crystal. I don't have experience with that. Beside of the app is using a postgresql database. A package should be doable, but currently it is too complex for myself.

Well, thank you very much for looking at it, @Kubernetes. I didn't realize it was a particularly complex one. Perhaps if you mention that on the invidious app request thread, one of the others might become curious.

I don't know why they opted for such tech. It might be that Google/Youtube do what they can to prevent apps like Invidious from becoming possible or easily workable and people need to go through contortions as a workaround.

I can begin to see why Invidious has been requested for so long but not packaged yet.

I hope you have more satisfaction with the next application.

@Kubernetes perhaps leave a link to the repo so someone else can take a look w/o starting from scratch.

@robi The repo is in Gitlab , but it's very early stage and build of the image is not working/complete. If someone would like to pickup on this, feel free

It seems a bunch of people are getting blocked by Youtube - https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3915 . It's an uphill battle to browse 3rd party services in an anonymous way , if it's not in the best interests of the parent service ...

I tried it as an app on yunohost. AND I rely on it when I watch yt. And I don't want to miss it anymore. It's been working like a charm for the last 6 months. It's good for me and kind of a statement to share it with friends. Feel free to use: you.luckow.org

NGL, I'd install this within the blink of an eye if it was available on Cloudron

OK, an initial version is out as unstable

FANTASTIC!

Well done, @girish! Hurrah, @JOduMonT ! Well done, Cloudron! This is a much wanted feature.

It installs very well. You can export/import your preferences from other instances OK.

Great! I hope everybody with Cloudron tries running Invidious.

Blink! Invidious is now available on Cloudron!

I created a separate category now, let's discuss in separate threads.

When I compare Invidious on Yunohost with Cloudron, the update frequency of the Cloudron app wins. That's why I moved you.luckow.org to my Cloudron instance. Thank you @staff

For a weekend with good music, look into
