Hello! on my home server I currently have jellyfin+arr suite installed, but I have often problems finding downloads, probably because of the torrent indexers I have access to. Because of this, I often find myself watching content on streaming websites because it has not been downloaded on the server.

So I started to consider replacing jellyfin with stremio. I’d like, if possible, to self host it with docker. I tried to follow the instructions here, but I’m a bit confused: if I go to myserver:12470, it says “the connection was reset by the server”, while if I go to myserver:11470 I’m just redirected to https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/?streamingServer=<myserverhere>.

am I doing something wrong? I can’t find any guide or similar on how to self host it, so I guess it’s not something supported, but if it’s the case then what’s the point of the docker image? I’d like to be independent on the stremio server, it’s the point of self-hosting it

thanks in advance fellow sailors!

    Sounds like you’re just running the back end, and it’s using the public front end linked to your local back end by default.

    If you want to use port 12470 it says that is https so you’d need to type that in instead of http in your browser.

    If you wanted to run the whole thing locally, it mentions disabling CORS, and then you’d probably need to set up the web front end: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-web

      Thanks for the reply! Stremio-web does not seem to have a docker package, so I should install it outside of docker? (Or create a docker container myself, but I never tried)

      Also, I found [this project](Thanks for the reply! Stremio-web does not seem to have a docker package, so I should install it outside of docker? (Or create a docker container myself, but I never tried)

      Also, I found this project that bundles both together, but the stremio accounts are still managed by the stremio servers, and I’d like to be independent from them instead. I asked the developer and he said that I need to change stremio-web (see issue), but I can’t find any configuration option in the readme.

      Sorry if my question seems confusing, but I’m pretty confused about this
