What it is

YYeTsBot is the code behind a Chinese website and Telegram bot that index movie and TV resources and user-shared cloud-drive links. Users search for titles, save favourites, and comment or flag broken links. The README also says it can be self-hosted with Docker.

  • Search for movie or TV show titles and find shared resource links
  • Save favourites that sync across devices on the website
  • Use the Telegram bot to look up resources from a chat
  • Run your own instance with Docker using the project's build workflow

Great for

  • Chinese-speaking users who want to search the site or its Telegram bot
  • People who want to self-host a private copy of the site with Docker
  • Developers interested in how a Telegram bot paired with a web app is built

Not ideal for

  • Anyone looking for a general-purpose media library, since the README describes it as a resource index rather than a media player or host
  • Users who need legal certainty about content, since the README says the site relies on ads and affiliate links and that third-party links are posted by users without author review
  • Beginners who have not used Docker or a command line, since self-hosting is the main path described

Strengths

  • Active project with a large user base, reported at about 16,300 stars
  • Released under the permissive MIT license
  • Offers both a website and a Telegram bot, plus Docker support for self-hosting

Trade-offs

  • The README says the public site is funded by ads and affiliate links, and some content may include those links
  • The project does not host video files itself; it indexes links posted by users, so link availability can change
  • The README is in Chinese and truncated, so setup details are unclear from this source alone
