What you can build with TubeArchivist
TubeArchivist is a self-hosted YouTube archival platform that puts your video collection under your own control. It subscribes to channels, downloads videos automatically via yt-dlp, and indexes everything with Elasticsearch so you can search across titles, descriptions, subtitles, and comments. Videos are served through a built-in web player with watch history and progress tracking — no YouTube account or internet connection needed after download.
Unlike one-off download tools, TubeArchivist runs continuously in the background. It preserves metadata, thumbnails, subtitles, and comments alongside each video file, and integrates with Jellyfin and Plex for media server users who want their archive alongside other content.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
