YTDL Cron Docker
Sets up LinuxServer.io alpine base image with the universal-cron mod enabled and YT-DLP installed.
Used to have yt-dlp peform some action at an interval based on cron.
Usage
Mount a volume at the container path /config. The file /config/crontabs/abc will be created if it does not exist. Don't forget to set your PUID and PGID for correct file permissions!
Add a cron express and yt-dlp command in /config/crontabs/abc. Restart the container for changes to the cron file to take effect.
EX:
# min hour day month weekday command

Every 2nd minute of the hour ytdl will download from http://example.com/live for 30 seconds and convert to mp3, saving at /config/streams/[Y-M-D--H-M-S]-test.mp3
