Vidgrab

Simple web interface to download videos with youtube-dl and store them on your server. Written in Typescript using nest.js.

Setup

Vidgrab was written assuming that Docker would be used to deploy it. It requires redis for it's queuing functionality.

Docker CLI

docker run -d --name vidgrab -E FILE_DIR=/vidgrab -v /vidgrab:/vidgrab -p 4200:4200 tedkulp/vidgrab

Docker Compose

There is an example docker-compose.yml file included in the repo. Use that directly to get a site running on port 3000 or modify to taste.
