The 403 was a VPN IP issue, not a client selection issue. yt-dlp already picks the right player clients (android_vr + web_safari). Moved YTDLP__EXTRACTOR_ARGS out of 'Most Useful Settings' into a 'Troubleshooting: YouTube 403 Errors' section that explains the actual common causes (VPN IPs, private content) before the escape hatch.

# media.rip()
|
|
|
|
A self-hostable yt-dlp web frontend. Paste a URL, pick quality, download — with session isolation, real-time progress, and a cyberpunk default theme.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Paste & download** — Any URL yt-dlp supports. Format picker with live quality extraction.
|
|
- **Real-time progress** — Server-Sent Events stream download progress to the browser instantly.
|
|
- **Session isolation** — Each browser gets its own download queue. No cross-talk.
|
|
- **Playlist support** — Collapsible parent/child jobs with per-video status tracking.
|
|
- **Three built-in themes** — Cyberpunk (default), Dark, Light. Switch in the header.
|
|
- **Custom themes** — Drop a CSS file into `/themes` volume. No rebuild needed.
|
|
- **Admin panel** — Session management, storage info, manual purge, error logs. Protected by bcrypt auth.
|
|
- **Cookie auth** — Upload cookies.txt per session for paywalled/private content.
|
|
- **Auto-purge** — Configurable scheduled cleanup of old downloads and logs.
|
|
- **Zero telemetry** — No outbound requests. No CDN, no fonts, no analytics. CSP enforced.
|
|
- **Mobile-friendly** — Responsive layout with bottom tabs on small screens.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) and paste a URL. On first run, you'll set an admin password.
|
|
|
|
Downloads are saved to `./downloads/`. Everything else (database, sessions, logs) lives in a named Docker volume.
|
|
|
|
> **That's it.** The defaults are production-ready: isolated sessions, admin panel with first-run setup wizard, 24h auto-purge, 3 concurrent downloads. Most users don't need to set any environment variables.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Session Modes
|
|
|
|
- **isolated** (default): Each browser session has its own private download queue.
|
|
- **shared**: All sessions see all downloads. Good for household/team use.
|
|
- **open**: No session tracking at all. Everyone shares one queue.
|
|
|
|
### Admin Panel
|
|
|
|
Enabled by default. On first run, you'll be prompted to set a password in the browser.
|
|
|
|
To pre-configure for automated deployments (skip the wizard):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate a bcrypt hash
|
|
docker run --rm python:3.12-slim python -c \
|
|
"import bcrypt; print(bcrypt.hashpw(b'YOUR_PASSWORD', bcrypt.gensalt()).decode())"
|
|
|
|
# Then set in docker-compose.yml:
|
|
# MEDIARIP__ADMIN__PASSWORD_HASH=$2b$12$...your.hash...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting: YouTube 403 Errors
|
|
|
|
YouTube downloads work out of the box — yt-dlp automatically selects the right player clients. If you do hit HTTP 403 errors, it's usually one of:
|
|
|
|
1. **VPN/datacenter IP** — YouTube blocks many VPN exit IPs. Run the container on your direct internet connection instead.
|
|
2. **Private/age-restricted content** — Upload a `cookies.txt` from a logged-in browser session via the UI.
|
|
3. **YouTube-side changes** — As a last resort, you can override yt-dlp's player client selection:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
MEDIARIP__YTDLP__EXTRACTOR_ARGS='{"youtube": {"player_client": ["web_safari"]}}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom Themes
|
|
|
|
1. Create a folder in your themes volume: `./themes/my-theme/`
|
|
2. Add `metadata.json`:
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "name": "My Theme", "author": "You", "description": "A cool theme" }
|
|
```
|
|
3. Add `theme.css` with CSS variable overrides:
|
|
```css
|
|
[data-theme="my-theme"] {
|
|
--color-bg: #1a1a2e;
|
|
--color-accent: #e94560;
|
|
/* See base.css for all 50+ tokens */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
4. Restart the container. Your theme appears in the picker.
|
|
|
|
See the built-in themes in `frontend/src/themes/` for fully commented examples.
|
|
|
|
## Secure Deployment
|
|
|
|
For production with TLS, use the included Caddy reverse proxy:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp docker-compose.example.yml docker-compose.yml
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env with your domain and admin password hash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Caddy automatically provisions Let's Encrypt TLS certificates for your domain.
|
|
|
|

|
|
