Hello everyone. I’m trying to selfhost an invidious instance to use inside my home network, to, you know, avoid youtube and use sponsorblock. I tried to use their site instructions to hold a docker container (although I’m using podman-composer for personal reasons) but I just can’t get it built. Has anyone succeded in doing it? any tips you can give me?

I have a self-hosted instance running for about the past 3-4 years. But pulling new PO Tokens isn’t working anymore so my instance is kind of broken right now.

To be frank, it’s unlikely you’ll get a running instance operational at this point unless something changes.

Edit: You have to rotate IP addresses when the PO Token problem happens. But it’s a gamble if the next IP you get from your ISP will be allowed by Youtube.

nadeko.net does this often. They are getting about $350 per month as contributions. These things are costly.

I run a private instance and it works like 98% of the time. Every once in a while YouTube changes something and I have to update my images or change from latest to master tags.

Here is my docker-compose.yml, I’m not sure how it translates to podman but maybe it’ll look similar.

There are 6 CHANGEME in the file that you would need to change with your info. The 2 that are for the companion must be the same 20 (I think) character key. I just generated one like it said in the instructions. The hmac key should be a separate 20 (I think) character key. Then just update your domain names and the admin account.

Hopefully this will help you out.
