        Most official/big instances get banned by youtube pretty quickly. To host your own, you essentially just run one docker compose, that’s it. If you want it to be public, you’ll need a public IPv4 and configure a reverse proxy (eg. nginx).

          Could I host my own on a desktop and make it semi-public only to me so I can use piped from my phone? Is this too ambitious for a newbie to the self-host game? I’ve only ever hosted a simplex smp and xftp server(I just ran a script and it worked OOTB)

            That would only work easily in your own network. As soon as you want access from other networks (mobile/work/etc.) you need to:

            • Get a public IPv4 from your provider. I got that easily, but idk if your provider can and will do this. Otherwise, there are proxy services.
            • Open port 80 (http) and 443 (https) in your router.
            • Very likely buy a domain (which is 1.4€ - 10€ per year, depending on the name and tld).
