Note : I highly recommend using the container

Requirements

• Installation with distribution package manager (apt, yum, ...) : python3, python3-pip, ffmpeg

pip3 install -r pip_requirements

Download this repo

Download the latest release :

wget https://github.com/Totonyus/ydl_api_ng/archive/master.zip

Then unzip the file and rename the unzipped folder : (note you can use unzip -d %your_path% to specify where you want to unzip the file )

unzip master.zip; mv ydl_api_ng-main ydl_api_ng

Modify listening port

The api listen by default on the port 80. It's perfect for docker use but not really a good idea for a bare metal user. Set the port you want in the params.ini file.

Install as daemon

Just fill the ydl_api_ng.service file and move it in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for systemd linux.

mv ydl_api.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/

You can change the name of the service by changing the name of the file.

Then (you must run this command every time you change the service file) :

systemctl daemon-reload

Usage :

systemctl start ydl_api_ng
systemctl stop ydl_api_ng
systemctl enable ydl_api_ng # start at boot
systemctl disable ydl_api_ng # don't start at boot
