Question 1

How do I set up SaveHere behind a reverse proxy like Nginx?

Accepted Answer

The README recommends using Nginx or Nginx Proxy Manager for domain access and SSL, but provides no specific configs—you'll need to manually configure proxy passes to the app's port (e.g., 8080). Ensure SignalR hub URLs and environment variables are adjusted for the proxy setup.

Question 2

Does SaveHere work with TikTok or Instagram downloads?

Accepted Answer

It depends on yt-dlp's support, which covers many sites, but the README doesn't explicitly list these. Check yt-dlp's supported sites list; if yt-dlp can handle them, SaveHere should too via its integration.

Question 3

SaveHere vs JDownloader – which is better for self-hosting?

Accepted Answer

SaveHere offers a web-based Blazor interface and built-in proxy, ideal for remote access, while JDownloader is a desktop app with more mature features but less focus on self-hosting. Choose SaveHere if you need a browser-managed server; JDownloader for local, feature-rich desktop use.

Question 4

How to convert a downloaded video to MP3 using SaveHere?

Accepted Answer

After downloading, use the media converter feature powered by FFmpeg. Ensure FFmpeg is installed (included in Docker) and select the file in the web interface to choose output formats like MP3.

Question 5

Is the built-in proxy in SaveHere safe for bypassing YouTube blocks?

Accepted Answer

It uses WarpPlus proxy, which may help with geo-restrictions, but effectiveness varies by region. The README notes it's for bypassing restrictions, but legal and ethical use depends on local laws and terms of service.

Question 6

Can I run SaveHere on a Raspberry Pi?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you use Docker or install .NET 8+ on ARM-based systems like Raspberry Pi OS. The Docker image should support multi-arch, but check compatibility and performance for media conversion tasks.
