Is there something I can use to fetch and serve YouTube videos locally? (alien.top)

I am keeping my children away from Youtube, but there are plenty of educational videos that I would like to make available for them to view at their leisure. I would like something that works more or less like this:

I add a youtube video url/playlist url/channel url
It downloads the videos, possibly with metadata, and stores them locally.
It serves them through a nice web interface.
(optional) it syncs the channel content and keeps it up to date.

Is there anything similar out there?

There's always Peertube's "channel sync" which does pretty much what you describes.

Only thing is that it's public sharing so you'd have to find ways of locking it down if you want a private server.
