Invidious, how I do it.
1. Clone with submodules!!! (`--recursive`)
2. Fill in placeholders
3. Schedule:
- [`reset.sh`](reset.sh) restarts Invidious.
- [`hard-reset.sh`](hard-reset.sh) updates and restarts everything. I suggest to schedule only this, daily.
Placeholders:
1. `192.168.81.2` in [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml)
2. In both [config.yml](config.yml) and [config-refresh.yml](config-refresh.yml):
- `hmac_key` - see below
- `invidious_companion_key` - see below
- companions - [see here](/id.420129/companion-setup)
- (optional) `http_proxy`
- (optional) `modified_source_code_url`
You can generate keys with:
```
openssl rand -hex 8
```

#### `config.yml` vs `config-refresh.yml`
There are two Invidious instances (or, precisely, classes)
One handles "background work," that is **refreshing** stuff, like user subscriptions. It's not exposed to users. \
The other (replicated) is exposed to users and handles user stuff. It's what you see.
