Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

I use a private Piped instance

Can you show your docker-compose? I've tried several times without succeeding 🤧

You can't just ask that. Not without at least taking them out to a fancy dinner first. Maybe a little dancing.

Before anything, you'll want to create a folder for the unix socket: mkdir /var/run/ytproxy and chown it to your reverse proxy's user and group.

The Docker files:

::: spoiler compose.yml

services:
  piped-frontend:
    image: 1337kavin/piped-frontend:latest
    container_name: piped-frontend
    environment:
      BACKEND_HOSTNAME: $API_ENDPOINT
    depends_on:
      - piped
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - proxy

  piped-proxy:
    image: 1337kavin/piped-proxy:latest
    container_name: piped-proxy
    environment:
      - UDS=1
    volumes:
      - /var/run/ytproxy:/app/socket  # unix socket location
    user: 1000:1000
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - proxy

  piped:
    image: 1337kavin/piped:latest
    container_name: piped-backend
    volumes:
      - ./piped/config/config.properties:/app/config.properties:ro
    depends_on:
      - piped-db
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - backend_piped
      - proxy

  piped-db:
    image: pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:16-alpine
    container_name: piped-db
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=$DB_NAME
      - POSTGRES_USER=$DB_USER
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$DB_PASS
    volumes:
      - ./piped/pgdb:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - backend_piped

networks:
  backend_piped:

  proxy:
    external: true

:::

::: spoiler .env

API_ENDPOINT=  # no scheme prefix (ex. pipedapi.domain.example)
DB_NAME=
DB_USER=
DB_PASS=

To configure the reverse proxy (I use nginx), you can use Piped's recommended files with your domains. The linked repo also contains a template for the required config.properties.

Let me know if you run into issues, I'll be glad to help 🙂
