Installation

Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/lekoOwO/vtbackup . on /root

Init

Install all dependencies by running sh /root/scripts/live-dl.init.sh.

Config

1. Config live-dl

Config live-dl with its example config file.

2. IPv6 Pool

It's recommended to config a IPv6 Pool to prevent Youtube HTTP 429 error.

Make sure that you are in a SLAAC (IPv6 stateless) environment.

2.a Config script

fill PREFIX, DEV, CIDR in /root/ipv6/ipv6.bash and make it executable.

It's using ${PREFIX}${SUFFIX}::1 to ${PREFIX}${SUFFIX}::ff by default, change it if you want (just modify the for-loop part, easy.)

2.b Config live-dl

address_pool: true
address_pool_file: /root/ipv6/address.txt

3. Callback

3.a Config live-dl

run_callback: true
callback:
  executable: /root/scripts/callback.bash

3.b1 Using lekoOwO's script

Download rclone and config your storage.

A example callback file is provided, modify it to meet your need :D

Downloaded video will be uploaded to your cloud storage and deleted locally.

3.b2 Use your own solution

Write your own callback script, yay!

EXECUTABLE "${OUTPUT_PATH}.mp4" "$BASE_DIR/" $VIDEO_ID $FULLTITLE $UPLOADER $UPLOAD_DATE will be called after the video is downloaded.

Save your callback script to /root/scripts/callback.bash and make it executable.

4. YTArchive

YTArchive is a convinient script to archive youtube videos.

config.yml

use_ytarchive: true

5.b Make it run every 15 minutes

cd /etc/periodic/15min/
ln /root/scripts/isBanned.bash
mv ./isBanned.bash ./isBanned
chmod +x ./isBanned

4.b.1 Enable crontab

rc-service crond start && rc-update add crond default
