Tubesync

TubeSync is a containerized media management tool and self-hosted archiver designed to automate the downloading and organization of video content from online sources, such as YouTube channels and playlists, into a local library for offline access. It functions as a download manager and metadata generator, utilizing a web interface to manage video subscriptions and synchronization settings.

The system features a rule-based content filter that evaluates video metadata against user-defined conditions to determine which items enter the download queue. To handle restricted or age-gated content, it supports browser cookie authentication to bypass standard OAuth flows.

The platform covers broad capabilities including automated content mirroring, the generation of sidecar metadata files for portable organization, and synchronization with external media servers. It includes a database-backed task queue for sequential processing, support for external database connectors, and a command-line interface for task management.

The service is provided as a Dockerized application with a web-based dashboard protected by HTTP basic authentication.
