What VPS hosting do you recommend that has IPs not blocked by youtube and crypto payments for personal use?

It really sucks when both ISP and youtube itself are trying to lock you out of their service. I dont wanna give youtube any of my data but i also can't (reliably) access it from my local network due to the fact that my goverment really sucks :(

Starting 01 September Piped started giving this error after sign on and clicking on any video.

Got error: "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.exceptions.ContentNotAvailableException: Got error: "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.checkPlayabilityStatus(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:898) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.onFetchPage(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:784) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.Extractor.fetchPage(Extractor.java:60) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:77) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:72) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:67) at me.kavin.piped.server.handlers.StreamHandlers.lambda$streamsResponse$0(StreamHandlers.java:54) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:317) at java.base/java.lang.VirtualThread.run(VirtualThread.java:329)

Maybe it has something to do with YouTube being currently blocked in Russia (where I am trying to access it). Please, check if it is possible to fix this error and continue watching YouTube via Piped. Thank you!

I just installed Piped using podman-compose but when I open up the frontend in my browser, the trending page is just showing the loading icon. The logs aren't really helping, the only error is in piped-backend:

Would appreciate it if anyone could help me. I also wasn't sure what info to include, so please ask if there's any more info you need.

All the public Piped instances are getting blocked by YouTube but do small selfhosted instances, that are only used by a handful of users or just yourself, still working? Thinking of just selfhosting it.

On a side note, if I do it, I'd also like to install the new EFY redesign or is that branch too far behind?

Hello everyone, I'm an user of Piped and Libretube for Youtube. I love being de-Googled. But what's the major difference (excluding metadata) about using Youtube only from browser (with Security-Privacy oriented browser, auto-deleted cookies per tab, without account) vs using Piped?

Thanks.

Which is the best to self host and use?

Cheers! I'm hoping to self-host Piped but I'm using cloudflare tunnels / Zerotrust to configure my containers public access (awful ISP CGNAT means this is the best way for my usecase). I've followed the docs https://docs.piped.video/docs/self-hosting/#docker-compose-nginx-aio-script and have configured a public hostname pointing to the nginx container's port configured in the compose.yml file -- but while I can access the frontend the backend/proxy seem to not be able to connect. I found this github issue discussing it https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/2600 but even if I add CNAME references manually (though they are now generally handled through Zerotrust) I can't seem to get things to work. The "Trending" page seems to be continually loading, and the logs for piped-backend show

Has anyone had luck hosting Piped using cloudflare tunnels and can point me in the right direction?

Good day, Sorry for the noob question. Which of the containers connect directly to google and belong behind the gluetun vpn so that google doesn't get the public address? Is it just the proxy container or also the API container?

Thanks for your help.
