Hey... I just set up a docker using the official stremio/server at docker hub. I am unable to stream. My streaming settings section originally showed all the options and now for some reason it's only showing Server and Streaming Server URL. I am unable to toggle the override button.
Do you happen to have an idea on what's going wrong? This is on my home network but using my tailscale url...
I managed to selfhost the web interface, but I encountered an issue that I don't think I can fix...
I used this docker run command (not compose yet, just testing)
docker run -it --rm --name stremio-web -p 8080:8080 node:alpine sh -c """ apk add git git clone https://github.com/stremio/stremio-web --depth 1 cd stremio-web npm install npm run build npm install -g http-server http-server build/ -p 8080 -d false """
And I can reach the web ui. Now I can go into the settings page and set the backend url, which works perfectly. But when I go to the discover page nothing loads because it wants to reach stremio's own servers.
Note: To access my selfhosted services I use a firefox profile that doesn't have access to the internet, to be able to fully seflhost my stuff, that's why the connection to their servers is blocked.
Is there a way to proxy these remote connections from the backend or am I just lost at this point?
@SmallAlmond I don't know much about streamio, but I noticed this on their webpage;
"There is also a Guest mode at signup, which requires no data whatsoever: in this mode, no calls are made to our backend. However, it comes at the expense of useful features, such as being able to sync your library across devices."
🤔
I mean... That's what the webui I deployed has, the "guest mode login", but it still makes those http requests to their servers :/
