# Steel Donut Collection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Steel Donut Collection is a simple web app that will take videos downloaded using youtube-dl/yt-dlp from an S3 bucket and make them watchable. This was created as a way to have our own Steel Donut Collective repository at home, just in case their YouTube channel ever goes down after they disbanded. (insert sad emoji here)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will also work with other YouTube videos, I'm told, but I didn't test that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Downloading videos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I used the following command to download the videos from the SDC channel:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
yt-dlp --write-info-json --write-description --write-annotations --all-subs --write-thumbnail -f best --format mp4 https://www.youtube.com/c/SteelDonutCollective/videos
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I just uploaded the resulting files to a Minio (S3 compatible) bucket.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setting up application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to get started is copying the provided "settings.dist.ini" to "settings.ini" and setting the required values therein. Then run `./manage.py migrate` to set up the sqlite3 database and you are good to go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Importing videos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have the database set up, you can run `./manage.py importvideos` to automatically import videos from the S3 storage.
