    so they claim to be an alternative front-end to YouTube but I feel it is more like a proxy, such as Searx do for Google Search.

    I'm really pro Free/Libre Open Source and believe in decentralization but let's face it, these 2 things are like a cult and/or a religion, you have to practice to be a believer.

    Anyway my point is I love the idea of PeerTube (but if they reach 1% of the crowd of YouTube this will be a big success) and

    I felt it must be a way to being able to access the content of YouTube without sacrificing our privacy, then I found Invidious.

    they invidiously have a docker image and a docker-compose file

    I would like to bump this post and hope that we can support Invidious on Cloudron.

    Anybody else interested in making this happen?

      @LoudLemur I’ll chip in if others also want to sponsor a paid packaging effort.

        @humptydumpty Does Cloudron have a mechanism for crowdfunding packaging?

        Also, after the initial packaging, how much work is there when future releases arrive?

          @LoudLemur I’m not aware of a crowdfunding feature on this forum but if we get enough contributors, we can hire a dev to package it for us. I’m not sure what is involved in app maintenance but if I’m not mistaken, Cloudron staff take over that responsibility if they choose to add the app to the appstore.

            Keep getting upvotes and ping all your social audiences about Cloudron, to bring more eyes to the prizes.

            More apps are getting packaged, just a lot of them to get through, and you never know how easy they will be until you hit an issue.

              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 🙂

                              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.

                                      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
