Software requirements

• youtube-dl

General installation

First we install the dependencies on the server, then website.

VPS

• Install ffmpeg (+ libmp3lame - see wiki for tutorial)
• install youtube-dl

Website

• Get a google developer api key
• Go to your webserver files to run composer into
• Run composer create-project michaelbelgium/youtube-to-mp3 [directoryname] - where directoryname is .. a directory where people can access the API from.

Configuration

search.php

define("MAX_RESULTS", 10); //max search results
define("API_KEY", ""); //google api key

convert.php

define("DOWNLOAD_FOLDER", "download/"); //the folder where files are accessable to download
define("DOWNLOAD_MAX_LENGTH", 0); //max video duration (in seconds) to be able to download, set to 0 to disable
define("LOG", false); //enable logging

docker-compose

You can deploy this API using docker-compose.yml and the Dockerfile to build from. Please add your google API Key to docker-compose.yml. It will expose port 80 from the container, out to port 80 on the host. This can also be changed using the same file.

How to run with docker-compose

Put docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile together in a new, empty folder. Then, run the following command to get it running

sudo docker-compose up -d

To stop:

sudo docker-compose down
