Freetube: Server installation / docker image

[Albirew]

Can you provide an advanced server installation documentation or a docker image so people can install it on a server the same way as an invidious instance?
May be related to #74 if used with an addon or an userscript that redirect youtube URLs to chosen instance.

it's theoretically possible to set up a server version of FreeTube, however there are parts of it that would need to be rewritten to replace any existing Electron functionality that FreeTube currently uses. Depending on what's wanted, this may also have to include some sort of account functionality for that instance, which would need to be written. Right now I want to focus on the desktop experience. This will be something I can look at after a stable release.

Since FreeTube doesn't have a web version (yet), a docker image doesn't really make sense right now. If we focus more on getting the web version fully working, then we can look at this again.

well, docker image was more "if something more than a LAMP server was needed" case.
If you're closing this issue, does this mean there's another issue for the web version?

[PrestonN]

There was, however it's likely closed right now as the web version will be shelved for the time being. It technically works however it will have to rely on the Invidious API to obtain data. Since Invidious might not get too many new features / patches, I'm going to keep it closed since it probably won't be worked on for a while. If development in Invidious picks back up, we can re-open these issues and discuss these again.
