January 10, 20215 yr Hi All, Stremio has released their web version in Alpha (open source) with an expected full release by end of Q1 2021. I'm looking to install Stremio Web inside an Unraid docker as if it were a community application. I was wondering how I would go about doing that? Thanks.

Is the self hosted still reliant on their service?

After that it's not used. The issue I had without the site, was adding plugins. I've verified that you can create a local account successfully that doesn't rely on their site. Let me see if anything's changed with plugin installation to see if i can get those going without the need to use their site. Edited November 13, 20241 yr by Espressomatic
November 14, 20241 yr Did some digging and some testing. You don't need to create an account on the Stremio web site. Creating one on the local instance is enough. To install add-ons, it's easiest if you then ALSO install the Stremio desktop app on your OS of choice. That way you can open the desktop app, set the server address to your local server address, and then log in with your local account. Now when you click on a link to install an add-on, the stremio: URL can be automatically opened by the desktop app after the add-on settings are configured. The add-on data will be saved to the server and available when you access the local web client without the desktop app - using the same account you created earlier. If you don't use a desktop app, then when installing add-ons, you need to configure them and then instead of clicking a final install button, you need to copy the URL from the button and paste it into the webUI. To do that you need to click on the "+Add Addon" button in the addons page, and a text field for the URL will appear. URLS need to point to a JSON file that should have been generated by the add-on configuration process. There are a some add-ons for which this can be tricky or may not work reliably (or at all). Installing the desktop app is easier and it can be deleted after add-ons are set up. This whole process is a pain and really convoluted. IMO, the whole thing is just designed poorly. But... It's worth it to jump through these little hoops to get Stremio going and accessible from iOS - or generally anything with a web browser and doesn't have the ability to install a Stremio client app. Edited November 14, 20241 yr by Espressomatic
