YouTube is incredible — but it's also ad-ridden, tracks everything, and sometimes removes the videos you love.
KV-Tube gives you:
- **Privacy** — No tracking, no algorithms manipulating you. Your watch history stays on your machine.
- **Permanence** — Videos you subscribe to stay available. No takedowns, no region blocks.
- **Ownership** — Run it on your NAS, your VPS, or a Raspberry Pi. It's yours.
- **Simplicity** — One container. One command. Zero configuration.
## 📖 Backstory
I built KV-Tube because I wanted a way to watch YouTube content without the YouTube baggage — ads, recommendation rabbit holes, and the feeling that the product was me, not the video player.
What started as a simple Go API to proxy video streams evolved into a full-featured frontend with subscriptions, search, PWA support, and a clean, YouTube-like interface. It runs on my Synology NAS at home, and I use it daily.
If that resonates, give it a star ⭐ — it helps others find the project.
