Self-hosting needs Docker plus a Telegram bot token and a MongoDB instance, and the UI is in Chinese.

In plain English

YYeTsBot is a Chinese-language video resource search platform that includes a Telegram bot and a companion website. It lets users search for movies and TV shows, view community-shared download links, save favorites, leave comments, and flag links that have expired or gone dead. The project is aimed at Chinese-speaking users who want to find streaming or download links for films and television, contributed voluntarily by the community. It can be accessed via a website, a Telegram bot, or a Telegram channel. The backend is written in Python and can be self-hosted using Docker (a tool for packaging and running software in portable containers). The disclaimer in the README states the project only indexes and links to content and does not store or distribute video files itself.
