Anyone self-hosting Invidious for personal use and has experienced his IP banned? (feddit.de)

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.

I do this exact thing and after a year or so of running my invidious instance locally I'm not banned and never had any issues and I use it about 5 hours per day give or take. Hope this helps.

Oh wow, that is a lot more usage than I can think of for all of us here, haha! Thank you very much. That sounds very promising.
