To make the VirtualHost config below actually work, you should as well:
|
||||
- Create a [.htpasswd](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/htpasswd.html) file and add required [username/login combos](http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html) to it, if not already existing.
|
||||
- Open port 3333 (or any other free port) adding `Listen 3333` to Apache `ports.conf` (Debian `/etc/apache2/ports.conf`)
|
||||
- If you run Invidious with default parameters, you may need to replace default host binding (0.0.0.0) with localhost (127.0.0.1) instead. That way, Invidious won't be publicly available on port 3000 anymore, but only accessible via the reverse proxy on port 3333. So if you run Invidious via a systemd service, you would edit the service file (e.g. `/etc/systemd/system/invidious.service`) and change modify the ExecStart line to include the -b switch as follows `ExecStart=/home/invidious/invidious/invidious -b 127.0.0.1 -o invidious.log` and then reload the daemon with `systemctl daemon-reload` so that changes are taken into account.

While running Invidious, it is very possible you will recive a DMCA at some point. A copyright agent will probably at some point search the ID of an infringing video on a search engine and see an Invidious instance appear. At least in the United States, Invidious instances should in theory be immune to DMCA laws because of [17 U.S. Code § 512](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512) stating that a provider is not responsible for content assusimg that "the material is transmitted through the system or network without modification of its content."

I see you are filing a claim for {{invidious instance url}}. {{invidious instance url}} hosts Invidious, a private YouTube front-end, meaning it is simply a proxy to access YouTube assets and user generated content without tracking from Google. Thus, all content is proxied from YouTube and is not stored on our servers and if YouTube chooses to remove an asset, it will no longer appear on our site.
