I prefer my system for running youtube-dl in an isolated environment without having to install all of its dependencies on the host. Ansible writes a bash script at ~/bin/youtube-dl containing:

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  set -e

  IMAGE_NAME="grepular/youtube-dl"

  # Build the image if it does not exist
  if [[ $(podman images --filter "reference=$IMAGE_NAME" -q) == "" ]]; then
      podman build -t "$IMAGE_NAME" -<<EOF >&2
  FROM python:3-slim
  RUN python3 -m pip --no-cache-dir install youtube_dl
  ENTRYPOINT ["youtube-dl"]
  EOF
  fi

  podman run --net host -i --rm -v "$PWD:/app" -w /app "$IMAGE_NAME" "$@"
