Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Ive used offtiktok which is self hostable

There is also proxitok

Or you could probably work out something with yt-dlp or one of the front ends for it.

WARNING

The docker-down.sh script associated with offtiktok runs a docker prune -f and will delete any unused docker containers you have without warning.

Can confirm that yt-dlp works perfectly for TikTok videos

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for!

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Cool alternatives. Thanks for the links.

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

https://github.com/alexta69/metube

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn't a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space
