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?
