Create standalone ocdownloader package or docker image #128

This is not an issue with ocDownloader Hello folks,

For a long time I have been looking for a downloader that runs in a docker container and everything is accessible over a webui. I just came across ocDownloader and it seems like it ticks all the boxes (two big ones: Aria and youtube-dl integration) however it is not a standalone utility and is an addon for NC/OC. I was wondering if this can be spun off into its own complete package that can be used without NC/OC. So here are some questions I'm seeking answers for:

  1. Does ocDownloader relies on OC/NC for anything other than the webgui?
  2. How hard will it be to implement a standalone webgui for it?
  3. Would you be interested in one such package or a docker image?

@nebula-it Well to answer your questions:

  1. ocDownloader relies on a lot of Owncloud/Nextcloud APIs, but it is only an app inside Nextcloud providing a nice web UI and relies on external tools like Aria2, Curl and Youtube-dl to work correctly. Rewriting might be possible, but it will be a lot of work and you would have to do a lot of things from scratch provided by the Nextcloud API.
  2. I am not sure, but given 1. maybe improving an existing tool like aria2-web would be more useful than starting from scratch or rewrite ocDownloader: https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2/ The most important part it misses is youtube-dl integration, otherwise the features should match pretty much.
  3. If you can help to make something like that, it would be interesting of course. As a compromise you could make Nextcloud Docker container that focuses heavily on ocDownloader (like for example starting ocDownloader as the default app instead of the files app and removing almost all unnecessary apps like calendar, contacts etc) packing in Aria2c, youtube-dl and providing an external storage space where downloads can be stored using a Docker environment variable. The Dockerfile to build something like that could be pushed into a Github repository and the final container image could be pushed to the Docker Hub then.

Thank you for the detailed reply, appreciate all the info. I looked at few other options and then went with https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material and that has been working very well for my use case.
