Hi,

Nice project!! It's a lot easier to use than manually running youtube-dl for every video and remembering what CLI arguments to pass.

There is just 1 problem: I have no idea whether the metube running on my Docker host is up-to-date or not. That has 2 reasons:

Hey, There's no versioning, you're correct. What I recommend (and do myself) is run an autoupdater program, such as watchtower, to keep the MeTube container always updated to the latest version. Adding a build date and GitHub link is a good idea, perhaps I'll do that. But you should run an autoupdater anyway :) you do want the latest MeTube, because yt-dlp (youtube-dl) gets updated occasionally to fix broken sites, and autoupdating takes care of that.

Thank you very much for the project. I also run watchtower :-) Having the project name in the gui would be a good idea like this example shows:

Thank you Stoneubi
