Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

In all seriousness, I couldn’t find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It’s still fairly rough, but it works, and i’d love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

services:
    pytube-gui:
        container_name: pytube-gui
        image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
        ports:
            - 8501:8501
        volumes:
            - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

    Would be nice if you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others?

    Edit: jeez, guys. It was just a question since they said “none of the others met their needs” so I was interested in that? Did that sound that rude? I am not a native English speaker, so I am not sure now. They are completely OK to ignore my question. But cool, will not ask that again and ignore such posts in the future.

      Why is this always the top comment when somebody makes something with the same functionality as another service?

      It’s just good there are some different options, maybe the UI is better, better tech stack, more responsive dev, who knows.

        Some people see “free stuff”, and assume that it’s now open season on wasting OP’s time.

        It’s a good way to kill any enthusiasm. Imagine your kid made a spaghetti portrait as a gift for you and instead of just accepting it you asked, “but what exactly did you do differently from all kids on the block?”

      Why? Why ask for this from the creator?

      If someone can create new software and offer it for free, they should not also be expected to also create a comprehensive analysis of what other people did and list of differences.

      Just take it or leave it, it’s that simple. No need to act as if you’re trying to waste some door-to-door salesman’s time.

      Edit: I expected some downvotes but not that many.

      To my defense, the question in this thread is “you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others”. Look, I’m not a native English speaker either but I feel we could agree that is still pretty far away from simply being curious about design choices or “what led you to create this” sort of exploratory question.

      I might have overreacted, though, so sorry for that.
