Usage

https://t.me/benny_ytdlbot

Send link directly to the bot. Any Websites supported by youtube-dl will also work.

Limitations of my bot

I don't have unlimited servers and bandwidth, so I have to make some restrictions.

• 10 GiB one-way traffic per 24 hours for each user
• maximum 5 minutes streaming conversion support

You can choose to become 'VIP' if you really need large traffic. And also, you could always deploy your own bot.

Features

1. fast download and upload.
2. ads free
3. support progress bar
4. audio conversion
5. playlist support
6. VIP support
7. support different video resolutions
8. support sending as file or streaming as video
9. supports celery worker distribution - faster than before.

3.3 Tidy docker-compose.yml

In flower service section, you may want to change your basic authentication username password and publish port.

You can also limit CPU and RAM usage by adding an `deploy' key:

    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '0.5'
          memory: 1500M

Be sure to use --compatibility when deploying.

4. run

4.1. standalone mode

If you only want to run the mode without any celery worker and VIP mode, you can just start ytdl service

docker-compose up -d ytdl

4.2 VIP mode

You'll have to start MySQL and redis to support VIP mode.

docker-compose up -d mysql redis ytdl

4.3 Celery worker mode

Firstly, set ENABLE_CELERY to true. And then, on one machine:

docker-compose up -d

On the other machine:

docker-compose -f worker up -d

⚠️ Bear in mind don't publish redis directly on the internet! You can use WireGuard to wrap it up.
