deployment

To deploy this app, you need a production-ready WSGI server like Waitress. Do not use the Flask built-in development server.

waitress in truenas jail

The following works in a 13.2 base jail:

$ git clone https://github.com/maxweigner/yt-mls.git
$ cd yt-mls
$ pkg install python39 py39-pip py39-sqlite3 ffmpeg
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install supervisord
$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate.csh
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ touch supervisord.conf

Put the following into supervisord.conf

[supervisord]

[program:ytmls]
command=/usr/local/bin/python /root/yt-mls/server.py ;
directory=/root/yt-mls ;
autostart=true ;
autorestart=true ;

Run crontab -e and add the following line

@reboot /usr/local/bin/supervisord -c /root/yt-mls/supervisord.conf

Restart the jail and you're done.

configuration

In server.py you can change:

PORT
MAX_VIDEO_DOWNLOAD_LENGTH_MINUTES

With the default settings, the server will be up and running on port 5000 and will not download videos longer than 10 minutes.

currently not supported

Having the same video in mp3 and mp4 is not possible with how the download process and database work. This includes channels and playlists. The chosen type on initial download dictates what you have.
