Security

yt-dlp-server binds to 127.0.0.1:3000 by default when using Docker Compose. If you expose the service over the internet, you must configure a reverse proxy with TLS termination (e.g., Nginx, Caddy, or Traefik) in front of the server, as it transmits API keys via HTTP headers and does not provide built-in HTTPS support.
