Would be nice to have ability to set multiple domains in the config file

• Ex. "invidious.catspeed.cc" "us.invidious.catspeed.cc" "ca.invidious.catspeed.cc" "mx.invidious.catspeed.cc" "catspeed.i2p" "akjhgaldhfgljkadfg.onion"

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

none
attempt myself

Additional context

I was thinking it would be good feature. I searched for existing issue ticket and none exist only this part of a users comment mentioned briefly.

          Maybe invidious could support serving two domains at the same time.

also this comment

          @FireMasterK Ideally invidious should support multiples domain names (or 1 domain name + 1 tor onion). A solution with nginx is "good" but far from ideal.

You could probably then add in your i2p address to the list there as well

Note: this would break video playback (dash) if your domain is not specified in config.

I actually tried to implement it on my instance. This is a very early commit that didn't work too well but you can take it as a POC and fix it if you want. I don't remember what is broken tho.

Greatly appreciate it 👍 I will look at cherry picking it.

You know there is a bounty you can claim if you did get it working :) I'd even send you $15usd myself if you want

It's not easy to implement because the domain is used in several places:

• the frontend
• pubsubsub functionality
• rss feeds

Alternative domains like @Fijxu is proposing is probably the better approach.
