I used a public instance of Piped for a while and thought about selfhosting it, but the installation process was incredibly hard, to the point of being obnoxious, and in the end, it didn't even work. I liked the features I saw on the public instances and would like to revisit it some time. Until there I'm using Viewtube. Installation was a breeze and it looks pretty nice.

Do you have some other YT frontend that we could try, post it here and tell us how easy/difficult it is to run and your opinion about it.

I've hosted invidious relatively easy for a while now. Simple UI and just works. If anyone needs my compose and config setup, reply and I'll post it.

It would be great if you can post the compose and comfigs!

Are there any minimum requirements?

No minimum requirements. And here you go:
