It looks like they're installing youtube-dl via apt, from the Ubuntu 16.04 repos (which is what the docker image uses as a base), do even rebuilding wouldn't cut it. I wonder if this will even work out of the box, because YouTube changed something that required youtube-dl to fix a month or two ago.

But it isn't actually using that in the app, it's using the https://github.com/przemyslawpluta/node-youtube-dl npm package.
That's just a wrapper calling the youtube-dl binary indirectly: https://github.com/przemyslawpluta/node-youtube-dl/blob/mast...
Well. That's a mess, I should have read more.
Which in turn relies on the original youtube-dl.
