I got this on a old desktop going to a external drive that has a samba connection. Nice offloading work.

services:
  youtube-dl-server:
    image: nbr23/youtube-dl-server:latest
    container_name: youtube-dl-server
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - YOUTUBE_DL_UPDATE=true
      - YDL_FORMAT=bestvideo+bestaudio/best
    volumes:
      - /your/internal_or_external/drive/youtube-d:/youtube-dl
    restart: unless-stopped

Name of this project is a bit misleading. I thought this is a fork of the old youtube-dl, which wasn't updated in 5 years. But youtube-dl-server instead uses a fork of the old version named yt-dlp, which is the main program to use nowadays. So this project in this post should have been named yt-dlp-server instead.
