Helo dear selfhosters, after more than a decade of partnerships and premium account I decided to free up my pocket about YouTube premium account (and also removed any partnership I had with evil nerds out there).

Now the question:

I would like to download and watch my favs and I can selfhost but I’m wonder which is the flawlessly solution to implement.

• Jellyfin + some tube plugin
• Tubearchivist + some client
• youtubedl + cron and emby
• others I’m ignoring..

Can you point me in the good direction?

I have good experience as selfhoster and also in pro enterprise stuff then I can do everything needed to achieve the mission.

Any recommendation is more than welcome.

Needed features:

• sync without rush some favs channels
• sync all my channels (then i’ll close them.. i managed 10 channels with 20K videos)
• possibly watch remotely not just at home (i can proxy via vps and vpn if needed)
• download and watch remotely offline via IOS

All suggestions will win a beer in Genoa, Milan or Rome anytime, also remotely triggered 🍻

Base server will be a selfhosted Dell R630 with attached storage no problems computing and storage stuff. Max users predicted: 2.

Thank You 🙏
