yt-dlp-server VS youtube

Something like this: https://github.com/frznman/yt-dlp-server

In my case I stuck my instance (not that exact software but similar) behind Caddy and added basic auth. Then I just setup Shortcuts or bookmarklets that just did:

    curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url={{url}}" http://{{address}}:8080/yt/q

I do love me some RSS. I started using RSS seriously 2 years ago, and last year, I forked Bubo RSS[1] to have my own RSS reader[2]. It's just a static site that is built every hour using Github Actions (although you can easily turn this into a cron job on your Raspberry Pi or whatever).

I liked the result so much, I ended up doing something similar using RSS feeds to a build page with all my of Youtube subscriptions[3].

Some things to note if you'd like to use it:

1. I deploy to Github Pages via Github Actions. See .github/workflows/build.yml for details. The only thing you might wanna change here is the `schedule` of how often to build your page

2. I define my subscriptions in src/feeds.json. It's just an array of tuples [name, rss_url].

3. I currently redirect to an Invidious instance. You can modify the `YOUTUBE_URL` const in scripts/render.js to `youtube.com` if you don't care for this
