Have you installed invidious via docker? Every time I build an image and try to install it (either using the official repo or the custom from yewtube), I get errors that the video can’t be played, any suggestions what am I doing wrong?
Why are you building the image yourself? Not that there’s a problem with that necessarily, but it seems a bit wasteful of your resources unless you have a specific reason to do so. There’s a docker image (
quay.io/invidious/invidious:latest) built by the developers that gets updated pretty frequently. I’ve been using it for years now and it’s been working perfectly fine for me the whole time.@sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works that is what the repo docker compose has, but I will give it a try on a fresh machine with that image.
I see now, that makes sense why you are building the image since it was set up that way. I don’t know why projects set up the compose file to build the image when they already have a publicly available image to use; it just creates unnecessary friction for people who just want to test out the software. Anyway, using that image should work for you, but feel free to ask if you run into any issues.

Because the compose that’s in the repository is the development compose, it’s not meant for users… literally the first line: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L1
