 `http://username:password@your_ytptube_url:port`

-# Security recommendations
-
-YTPTube is designed for LAN and home-lab use behind a firewall or reverse proxy. The web interface and API are
-unauthenticated by default because in a trusted network, auth adds friction without meaningful benefit. However,
-if you expose YTPTube to the internet directly or via port forwarding **YOU MUST enable authentication**.
-
-### Without auth, anyone who can reach the API can:
-
- Download arbitrary content through your IP and server.
- Delete or modify your downloaded files and database.
- Run arbitrary `yt-dlp` options, including `--exec`, which executes shell commands inside the container.
-
-This is not a vulnerability, it's the intended design. The `cli` field passes options directly to `yt-dlp`,
-a tool that by design can execute commands. Auth is the mechanism that controls who gets to use that power.
-
-**If you expose YTPTube to untrusted networks**, do one of the following:
-
-1. **Enable authentication** — set both `YTP_AUTH_USERNAME` and `YTP_AUTH_PASSWORD`.
-2. **Put it behind a reverse proxy** with its own authentication layer (see [Run behind reverse proxy](#run-behind-reverse-proxy)).
-3. **Keep it on a private network** with no public exposure.
-
-YTPTube already gates other powerful features behind explicit opt-in: the built-in terminal, file browser actions and internal
-URL requests for example. The `cli` field is no different, its power is by design, and access control is your responsibility.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you choose to run without authentication but still want to reduce at least some impact, you can set
-> `YTP_DISABLE_EXEC=true`. This strips some dangerous options at run time. However, understand that this is not a 
-> substitute for auth an unauthenticated API is still fully open for all other operations.

-# Custom output template placeholders
-
-YTPTube supports custom `ytp_*` placeholders in `yt-dlp` output template via the following syntax `%(ytp_*:<args>)s`.
-
-## Currently available extra placeholders are:
-
- `ytp_random`: random mixed letters and digits,
-  - `N` A number is required to specify the length of the random string, for example `%(ytp_random:8)s` will generate a random string of 8 characters. 
-  - if the args followed by `:s` it will generate random letters only, if followed by `:d` it will generate random digits only.
-
-## Examples of the custom placeholders in action:
-
- Template: `%(title)s [%(ytp_random:8)s].%(ext)s`
-  - Example result: `My Video [A7k2Pq9Z].mp4`
- Template: `%(uploader)s/%(ytp_random:6:d)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s`
-  - Example result: `MyChannel/483920 - My Video.mp4`
- Template: `%(playlist)s/%(ytp_random:10:s)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s`
-  - Example result: `Favorites/QwErTyUiOp/My Video.mp4`

-# How to use the browser extractor?
-
-YTPTube ships with a bundled `browser` extractor plugin for `yt-dlp`. It opens the target page in a remote browser,
-waits for the page network activity, then tries to extract media urls from the captured requests and media elements.
-
-This is mainly useful for sites where the regular extractor or generic page parsing does not expose the final media url,
-but a real browser session does.
-
-## Environment variables
-
-You can define the remote browser endpoint globally with the following environment variable.
-
-### Selenium example
-
-```env
-YTP_BROWSER_URL=selenium+http://selenium:4444/wd/hub
-```
-
-### Playwright example
-
-For a native Playwright server, point to the Playwright websocket endpoint:
-
-```env
-YTP_BROWSER_URL=playwright+ws://playwright:3000/
-```
-
-### Playwright CDP example
-
-To connect Playwright over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, use either the shorthand `playwright+cdp://` form or an explicit transport form:
-
-```env
-YTP_BROWSER_URL=playwright+cdp://chrome:9222/
-# same as playwright+cdp+http://chrome:9222/
-```
-
- `YTP_BROWSER_URL` is the full backend selector and endpoint in one value.
- Supported forms are:
-  - `selenium+http://...`
-  - `selenium+https://...`
-  - `playwright+ws://...`
-  - `playwright+wss://...`
-  - `playwright+cdp://...` which is treated as `playwright+cdp+http://...`
-  - `playwright+cdp+http://...`
-  - `playwright+cdp+https://...`
-  - `playwright+cdp+ws://...`
-  - `playwright+cdp+wss://...`
-
-## yt-dlp usage
-
-If you want to set the browser extractor options directly on the yt-dlp side, you can also use `--extractor-args` with `generic:url=...`:
-
-### Selenium example
-
-```bash
--use-extractors "generic" --extractor-args "generic:url=selenium+http://selenium:4444/wd/hub"

-> [!NOTE]
-> The browser extractor is slower than the normal extractor flow and should only be used when a site actually needs a real browser session.
-> playwright require same version for both the server and the client, so make sure to use the same version in the container and in your local environment if you want to test it locally.

 **YTPTube** is a web-based GUI for [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp), designed to make downloading videos from 
 video platforms easier and user-friendly. It supports downloading playlists, channels, live streams and

 * Conditions feature to apply custom options based on `yt-dlp` returned info.
 * Custom browser extensions, bookmarklets and iOS shortcuts to send links to YTPTube instance.
 * A bundled executable version for Windows, macOS and Linux. `MacOS version is untested`.
-* Use playwright or selenium for extractors that require a browser. see [related FAQ](FAQ.md#how-to-use-the-browser-extractor).

 Please read the [FAQ](FAQ.md) for more information.

 # Installation

-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> By default YTPTube runs without authentication. If you expose it to the internet, **enable auth**. See [security recommendations](FAQ.md#security-recommendations).

 ## Run using docker command

 ```bash
-mkdir -p ./{config,downloads/{files,tmp}} && docker run -itd --rm --user "${UID}:${UID}" --name ytptube \
