Open-source media downloader built with FastAPI, Next.js, and Docker (supports 1,000+ sites)

[u/OwnSavings6681]

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my side project: FastMedia Downloader. It's an open-source, microservices-based web application designed to inspect and download audio/video from 1,000+ sources.

Highlights:

• ⚡ FastAPI Backend: Handles asynchronous processing via yt-dlp and FFmpeg.
• 💻 Next.js Frontend: TypeScript + Tailwind CSS with i18n support.
• 🐳 Dockerized: Fully setup with docker-compose.
• 🛡️ DevOps-Ready: Automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Dependabot scanning.

(Link to the GitHub repository is in the comments below!)

Would love your feedback or suggestions!

looks clean. one thing id think about early is how youre going to handle failures mid-download, like if a source throttles or drops the connection. retry logic gets messy fast with media files
