## Usage
Meant to be used with Docker, but it would work locally if you have [youtube-dl](https://youtube-dl.org/) installed as well.
```sh
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/data:/app/data w33ble/youtube-dl-web
```
Then hit `http://localhost:8080`, passing in a `url` and optionally a `format` query parameter for where to download from.
### Automatic cleanup
By default, this image will both send the download in the web response as well as save it to disk. This is handy if you're saving those downloads via a volume.
If you don't want to keep the downloads around, you can use the `REMOVE_DOWNLOAD` environment to tell the server to clean up the download after sending it in the web request. Setting the value to `1` or `true` is all it takes:
```sh
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 --env REMOVE_DOWNLOAD=1 w33ble/youtube-dl-web
```
Running it like this, the result from youtube-dl will only be useful from the web response. The file is cleaned up after sending so using the shared volume doesn't make sense.
## Deploy to Docker Hub
```sh
docker build . -t youtube-dl-web
docker tag youtube-dl w33ble/youtube-dl-web:latest
docker push w33ble/youtube-dl-web:latest
```
