aphy7/gallery-dl

A container with gallery-dl and yt-dlp pre-installed.

Warning: This just adds bloat to have gallery-dl neatly seperated in a container any probably isn't what you're looking for.

Usage

While keeping the container running

Start the container with docker run -it --rm --name gallery-dl -v /somedir:/somedir --entrypoint /bin/bash aphy7/gallery-dl and run docker exec gallery-dl gallery-dl instead of gallery-dl. Replace /somedir with your home, a dedicated sub-folder or similar to read from / write to the host. You can put your gallery-dl.conf there, too. I recommend using the same path for in- and outside of the container.

Temporary container

Use docker run --rm -v /somedir:/somedir aphy7/gallery-dl instead of gallery-dl.

Tips

• There's a script at /srv/gallery-dl/update_apps.sh to upgrade the python apps.
• Add alias gallery-dl='docker run --rm -v /somedir:/somedir aphy7/gallery-dl' to your .bashrc to use the Docker version
• Add --entrypoint yt-dlp to the command in front of aphy7/gallery-dl to use yt-dlp
• Add alias yt-dlp='docker run --rm -v /somedir:/somedir --entrypoint yt-dlp aphy7/gallery-dl' to your .bashrc

Motivation

I wanted to use gallery-dl without installing anything on the host-system. With this, I just need to create an alias. I also learned a bit about creating own Docker images.
