You don't need to do this anymore! This bot support instagram posts out of the box, including photos, videos and reels.

3.3 Tidy docker-compose.yml

In flower service section, you may want to change your basic authentication username password and publish port.

You can also limit CPU and RAM usage by adding a `deploy' key:

    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '0.5'
          memory: 1500M

Be sure to use --compatibility when deploying.

4. run

4.1. standalone mode

If you only want to run the mode without any celery worker and VIP mode, you can just start ytdl service

docker-compose up -d ytdl

4.2 VIP mode

You'll have to start MySQL and redis to support VIP mode, subscription and settings.

docker-compose up -d mysql redis ytdl

4.3 Celery worker mode

Firstly, set ENABLE_CELERY to true. And then, on one machine:

docker-compose up -d

On the other machine:

docker-compose -f worker.yml up -d

⚠️ Please bear in mind that you should not publish Redis directly on the internet. Instead, you can use WireGuard to wrap it up for added security.
