No extra setup is required for Electron and Docker. Both ship with yt-dlp and ffmpeg already integrated.
Desktop App runs in an Electron shell, Docker runs as one container, and Local Web App runs frontend and backend separately for development.
The official `yloader/yloader` image runs on port 8080 by default (for example with `-p 8080:8080`).
Use mapped volumes: `/downloads` for media files and `/app/data` for the SQLite metadata database.
Yes. yLoader includes built-in management for yt-dlp and ffmpeg updates across its runtime modes.
In the official container this is disabled by default (`YLOADER_ALLOW_BROWSER_COOKIE_IMPORT=0`) for safer defaults.
Each desktop panel has an info icon that shows version, filename, file size, and update time from the latest public GitHub release.
No. The desktop buttons start the asset download directly from the website flow so you can stay on the yLoader page.
