Self-hosted media downloader for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Facebook.
Paste a link, preview it, pick a format — with a live job dashboard, waveform audio trimming, BPM analysis, and Lalal.ai stem separation.

Dashboard — paste a link, preview the media, pick a format, and track every job live.

Authenticated login with invisible, server-verified anti-bot protection.

Download, shape, share

fetchly turns yt-dlp into a self-hosted media workspace. Pick formats in a web UI, follow every job live, trim audio visually, find its tempo, create stems, and share finished downloads without handing your media to another service.

Quickstart

Docker is the recommended way to run fetchly. The image (Docker Hub) bundles ffmpeg, yt-dlp, yt-dlp-ejs, and deno — nothing else to install.

Docker Compose

# compose.yaml
services:
  fetchly:
    image: giiibates/fetchly:latest
    container_name: fetchly
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    environment:
      FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY: ${FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY:?generate with: openssl rand -base64 32}
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data

export FETCHLY_SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -base64 32)"
docker compose up -d

A fuller compose file with logging, timezone, and reverse-proxy notes lives in docker/docker-compose.yml.

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000, then create an admin account in Settings → Security before exposing fetchly beyond your local machine.
