Ive used offtiktok which is self hostable

There is also proxitok

Or you could probably work out something with yt-dlp or one of the front ends for it.

WARNING

The docker-down.sh script associated with offtiktok runs a docker prune -f and will delete any unused docker containers you have without warning.

Can confirm that yt-dlp works perfectly for TikTok videos

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for!

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Cool alternatives. Thanks for the links.

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

https://github.com/alexta69/metube

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn't a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space
