 <div class="container entry-content"><p>I recently stumbled upon <a href=https://yewtu.be>yewtu.be</a> and found it intriguing. It not only allows for you to watch YouTube without <em>being on YouTube</em>, but it also allows you to create an account and subscribe to channels without a Google account. What sort of wizardry is going on under the hood? It turns out that it&rsquo;s a hosted instance of <a href=https://invidious.io/>invidious</a>.</p>

 <p>Wow, this is cool, and <strong>JavaScript is not required</strong>.</p>
-<p>I started to use <a href=https://yewtu.be>yewtu.be</a> as my primary client for watching videos. I subscribe to several YouTube channels and I prefer the interface invidiuous provides due to its simplicity. It&rsquo;s also nice to not have so much of my data collected and used.</p>

 <p>A few days ago, yewtu.be went down briefly, and that motivated me enough to self-host invidious. There are several other hosted instances listed <a href=https://docs.invidious.io/instances/>here</a>, but being able to easily backup my own instance (along with watch history) is more compelling in my case.</p>

 <p>The quickest way to get invidious up is with docker-compose as mentioned in the <a href=https://docs.invidious.io/installation/>docs</a>.</p>
