Docker

You can deploy this project using docker-compose.yml and the Dockerfile to build from. Please add your google API Key to the .env file. It will expose port 80 from the container, out to port 80 on the host. This can also be changed in .env under HOST_PORT. The docker image uses yt-dlp.

How to run with docker-compose

Put docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile together in a new, empty folder. Create .env, and set the values listed in the example .env in this repo. To run, use the following command:

docker-compose up -d

To stop:

docker-compose down
# Or use this to remove the attached volume, to clear up space-
docker-compose down -v
