Node.js express app for downloading media from youtube.
Still needs a lot of configurations and extra functionality. It's nowhere suits for production use. It's ok though. I am just testing stuff and it's fun.
Pull the repository and install dependencies with npm.
$ git clone https://github.com/Nycrera/ytdl-web-app.git
$ cd ytdl-web-app
$ npm install
then you can run the app. (This is meant for the nginx reverse proxy usage for now. But let's make these things configurable.)
$ node index
or alternatively you can use pm2 right ? Install the pm2 then
$ npm install pm2 -g
you can create a app that will reset if anything bad happens.
$ pm2 start index --name yt-dl-app
at this point app is available at the port 4000 (as default) or the according variable (const NET_PORT).
All POST api calls are Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Checks if the endpoint is available. I probably will delete this soon because it is stupid. There is litterally no use.
