YoutubeDL-Material is a Material Design frontend for [youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/). It's coded using [Angular 9](https://angular.io/) for the frontend, and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) on the backend.

Now with [Docker](#Docker) support!

## Getting Started

Check out the prerequisites, and go to the installation section. Easy as pie!

Here's an image of what it'll look like once you're done:

With optional file management enabled (default):

### Prerequisites

NOTE: If you would like to use Docker, you can skip down to the [Docker](#Docker) section for a setup guide.

Make sure you have these dependencies installed on your system: nodejs and youtube-dl. If you don't, run this command:

```
sudo apt-get install nodejs youtube-dl
```

Optional dependencies:
* AtomicParsley (for embedding thumbnails, package name `atomicparsley`)

### Installing

1. First, download the [latest release](https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/releases/latest)!

2. Drag the `youtubedl-material` directory to an easily accessible directory. Navigate to the `appdata` folder and edit the `default.json` file.

NOTE: If you are intending to use a [reverse proxy](https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/wiki/Reverse-Proxy-Setup), this next step is not necessary

3. Port forward the port listed in `default.json`, which defaults to `17442`.

4. Once the configuration is done, run `npm install` to install all the backend dependencies. Once that is finished, type `npm start`. This will run the backend server, which serves the frontend as well. On your browser, navigate to to the server (url with the specified port). Try putting in a youtube link to see if it works. If it does, viola! YoutubeDL-Material is now up and running.

If you experience problems, know that it's usually caused by a configuration problem. The first thing you should do is check the console. To get there, right click anywhere on the page and click "Inspect element." Then on the menu that pops up, click console. Look at the error there, and try to investigate.

## Build it yourself

If you'd like to install YoutubeDL-Material, go to the Installation section. If you want to build it yourself and/or develop the repository, then this section is for you.

To deploy, simply clone the repository, and go into the `youtubedl-material` directory. Type `npm install` and all the dependencies will install. Then type `cd backend` and again type `npm install` to install the dependencies for the backend.

Once you do that, you're almost up and running. All you need to do is edit the configuration in `youtubedl-material/appdata`, go back into the `youtubedl-material` directory, and type `ng build --prod`. This will build the app, and put the output files in the `youtubedl-material/backend/public` folder.

The frontend is now complete. The backend is much easier. Just go into the `backend` folder, and type `npm start`.

Finally, if you want your instance to be available from outside your network, you can set up a [reverse proxy](https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/wiki/Reverse-Proxy-Setup).

Alternatively, you can port forward the port specified in the config (defaults to `17442`) and point it to the server's IP address. Make sure the port is also allowed through the server's firewall.

## Docker

### Setup

If you are looking to setup YoutubeDL-Material with Docker, this section is for you. And you're in luck! Docker setup is quite simple.

1. Run `curl -L https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml` to download the latest Docker Compose, or go to the [releases](https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material/releases/) page to grab the version you'd like.
2. Run `docker-compose pull`. This will download the official YoutubeDL-Material docker image.
3. Run `docker-compose up` to start it up. If successful, it should say "HTTP(S): Started on port 8998" or something similar.
4. Make sure you can connect to the specified URL + port, and if so, you are done!

### Custom UID/GID

By default, the Docker container runs as non-root with UID=1000 and GID=1000. To set this to your own UID/GID, simply update the `environment` section in your `docker-compose.yml` like so:

```
environment:
    UID: YOUR_UID
    GID: YOUR_GID
```

## API

[API Docs](https://youtubedl-material.stoplight.io/docs/youtubedl-material/Public%20API%20v1.yaml)

To get started, go to the settings menu and enable the public API from the *Extra* tab. You can generate an API key if one is missing.

Once you have enabled the API and have the key, you can start sending requests by adding the query param `apiKey=API_KEY`. Replace `API_KEY` with your actual API key, and you should be good to go! Nearly all of the backend should be at your disposal. View available endpoints in the link above.
