I lost my YouTube history, as mentioned in this message, and I am considering self-hosting my own instance to prevent this from happening again. However, I have a few concerns. Will I lose the privacy benefits that come with using another instance? If I make my instance public, will I be sharing bandwidth? Should I use the available package on Manjaro or follow the installation instructions?

I'm using a self hosted installation using docker thats not open to the internet. Its only open to my internal network. I would strongly suggest not making it public. Especially if you have datacaps on your ISP.

However being paranoid about being IP banned by Google I took it a step further. I'm using Gluetun https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun to host a docker container that runs proton vpn and allows other docker containers to connect to it and use the vpn connection. Also has the benefit of being a http proxy.
