Legacy WebOS Youtube Service

Introduction

This is a Docker image containing Apache, PHP, ffmpeg, youtube-dl, and codepoet80's Legacy WebOS Youtube Service code. The resulting container can be used to play Youtube videos on legacy WebOS devices:

• Palm Pre 1-2
• Palm Pixi Plus
• HP Pre 3
• HP Veer
• HP Touchpad

Usage

Configuration

If you want to use the Youtube Search feature, you will need a Google API Key (get your own for free here).

Docker run (x64)

Using environmental variables

You can simply run the following command to set the service up.

docker run -d --name webos-legacy-youtube \
--restart=unless-stopped \
-p 8083:80 \
-e YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_youtube_api_key \
-e YOUTUBE_CLIENT_KEY=your_secure_key \
-e YOUTUBE_DEBUG_KEY=your_secure_key \
-e YOUTUBE_SERVER_ID=your_secure_key \
h8pewou/legacy-webos-youtube-service:latest

Note that the secure keys are optional. See the WebOS app settings for more details on configuration.

Using persistent volumes

You can also use volumes to configure the application. Download a sample config.php from here or here. Ensure that the file_dir is set to /downloads/ (as seen in the first option).

Example:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h8pewou/Legacy-WebOS-Youtube-Service/main/docker-youtube-config-sample.php

Ensure that /path/to is replaced with the actual path:

docker run -d --name webos-legacy-youtube \
--restart=unless-stopped \
-p 8083:80 \
-v /path/to/config.php:/var/www/html/config.php \
h8pewou/legacy-webos-youtube-service:latest

Optionally, you can add the following argument to specify a persistent /downloads volume:

-v /path/to/downloads:/downloads

Docker-compose (x64)

Alternatively you can use the following docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.9'

networks:
  bridge:
    driver: bridge

services:
  wrapper:
    image: h8pewou/legacy-webos-youtube-service:latest
    networks:
      - bridge
    ports:
      - "8083:80"
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_youtube_api_key # Not required if config.php volume is configured
      - YOUTUBE_CLIENT_KEY=your_secure_key # Not required if config.php volume is configured
      - YOUTUBE_DEBUG_KEY=your_secure_key # Not required if config.php volume is configured
      - YOUTUBE_SERVER_ID=your_secure_key # Not required if config.php volume is configured
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config.php:/var/www/html/config.php # Optional if environment variables are configured above
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads # Optional

Ensure that /path/to is replaced with the actual path. Issue docker-compose up to start the service.

Are you on arm64 (e.g., Raspberry Pi)?

WARNING! The following image was not tested since May 2023. If in doubt, rebuild it using the Dockerfile mentioned above.

Replace h8pewou/legacy-webos-youtube-service:latest with h8pewou/legacy-webos-youtube-service:arm64.
