Hi everyone,

I am thinking about self-hosting Invidious just for personal use in one household. So this will generate of course much less traffic than the public hosted ones with probably hundreds or thousands videos watched in a short timeframe.

However, I read that it is not unusual for Invidous instances to get IP banned and I wonder if this is more a problem with the public instances or if someone here hosts it just for itself and had to cope with that too.

To be precise: The plan is to self-host it in my homelab, accessible only from the LAN for the few people living here.

    Thank you for your feedback! I get the impression that it might work if used on a small scale when it´s not public. I guess I will have a new container soon :-)
