In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.

Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?

    I’m selfhosting invidious for a few users (5), only downside is it have to be restarted every once in a while to clean up the db (cron every one hour did the trick pretty well). Very usable on every video :-)

        Yeah something like that sorry was just waking up 😂

        From the doc : Because of various issues Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour.

          Lmao the docs. That translates to: we have memory leaks but I’m not getting paid for this so deal with it. 😂😂
