I'm once again asking you to host Invidious (alternative YouTube frontend) locally on your PC.
The real problem is that it's a pain sometimes and the fact they suggest to restart every hour is even worse. Recently, I had a problem where it started to play some videos and then stopped the playback and from there it went in a reloading loop till you get something like
Refreshing does nothing. Restarting is the same
IDK about invidious, but on Piped I had to add a container that grabs POtokens for the Newpipe API to use to pull videos.
For me, it's running for months and I had to load new image updates sometimes, because YouTube likes to break it, but this was maybe once a month...
Most of the times it works but sometimes it's just a pain to deal with the problem I mentioned. Do you restart it once in a while?
Maybe, once a month when YouTube breaks their site and a video does not load via Invidious, I execute
docker compose pull docker compose down docker compose up -dto load the latest images and usually, it works again.
I have no automated restarts every few hours or days.
I have to see and solve this
How does one embark on such a journey?
Quite easy with Docker: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker-compose-method-production
