Alltube-Docker

🎬 AllTube Quick Start

AllTube is a Web GUI for youtube-dl, which allows you to download videos from various websites—even those that don't explicitly allow video downloads.

AllTube provides an official site for using youtube-dl online or you can deploy your own instance under your domain.

[!note] The deployment of AllTube can be a bit cumbersome, but using Docker simplifies the process significantly. Let's walk through setting it up!

⚙️ Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have a Docker environment. If you don’t, follow the official Docker installation guide here.

🚀 Quick Start with Docker

To deploy AllTube using Docker, run the following command:

docker run -d --restart always --name alltube -p 24488:80 dnomd343/alltube

This command will start AllTube on port 24488. You can change this port to your preferred one.

[!tip] You can customize AllTube’s behavior by passing environment variables. Below are a few built-in options you can use:

Available Environment Variables

• TITLE=... : Set the title of your website.

• REMUX=ON : Merge best audio and video.

• STREAM=ON : Allow video streaming.

• CONVERT=ON : Enable audio conversion.

• PORT=... : Specify a custom port (default: 80).

Example Command with Custom Configuration

docker run -d --restart always --name alltube \
  --env TITLE="My AllTube Site" \
  --env CONVERT=ON \
  --env STREAM=ON \
  --env REMUX=ON \
  --env PORT=24488 \
  --network host dnomd343/alltube

🖥️ Configure Reverse Proxy (e.g., Nginx)

To access AllTube through your domain, configure a reverse proxy with Nginx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name video.343.re;  # your domain
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name video.343.re;  # your domain
    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/343.re/fullchain.pem;  # TLS certificate of your domain
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/343.re/privkey.pem;  # TLS private key of your domain
    location / {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Connection '';
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:24488;
    }
}

[!warning] After making these changes, don't forget to reload Nginx with the command: nginx -s reload

Now, you can visit your domain and enjoy AllTube!

🔧 Advanced Setup

If you'd like to build the AllTube Docker image yourself, use the following command:

docker build -t alltube https://github.com/dnomd343/alltube-docker.git

[!note] By default, AllTube uses the yt-dlp project (a more updated fork of youtube-dl) instead of youtube-dl. You can manually change YTDLP in the Dockerfile to specify the version you want.

🧰 Customization

If you don’t need the audio conversion feature, you can exclude ffmpeg during the build process to reduce the image size.

Build Multi-Architecture Images

To speed up the build process, use Docker's multi-stage builds. Here’s an example using buildx to build images for multiple architectures:

docker buildx build -t dnomd343/alltube \
  --platform="linux/amd64,linux/386,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7" \
  https://github.com/dnomd343/alltube-docker.git --push

This will create and push images for multiple platforms.

📝 Conclusion

AllTube makes it easy to deploy a video download site based on youtube-dl. With Docker and some basic configurations, you can quickly get started and enjoy the flexibility to customize and scale your deployment.
