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.
Firefox and ublock on desktop. Revanced on android.
I use mpv with yt-dlp.
Invidius user here. But will check this out.
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.
