YouTube may block downloads with a "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error. To fix this:
- Install a browser extension like "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY"
- Open an incognito/private window and log into a throwaway Google account on youtube.com
- Export cookies in Netscape format and save as
cookies.txt - Mount the file and set
YT_COOKIES_FILE:
volumes:
- ./cookies.txt:/cookies/cookies.txt
environment:
- YT_COOKIES_FILE=/cookies/cookies.txt
⚠️ Do not use your main Google account — it may get flagged. Cookies expire periodically and will need re-exporting.
