  2. Click here to go to Vercel.

  3. Sign in using either a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

  4. Click the “New Project” button on the top right of your dashboard and follow the steps to create a new project for your self hosted version of movie web.

  5. After clicking it, you’ll be presented with a list of Git repositories that the Git account you’ve signed up with has write access to.

  6. Select your own fork of the P-Stream Github repository.

  7. Configure the environment variables:

    • VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL: Enter your proxy URL here. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of your URL. Example (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, IT WON’T WORK FOR YOU): https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev
    • VITE_TMDB_READ_API_KEY: Enter your TMDB Read Access Token here. Please read the TMDB page on how to get an API key.
    • VITE_BACKEND_URL: Only set if you have a self-hosted backend. Put in your backend URL. Check out configuration reference for details. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of the URL.

  8. Click “Deploy”.

  9. Congrats! You have your own version of P-Stream hosted.

  10. You may wish to configure a custom domain - Please consult the Vercel docs for how to do this.

Method 3 - Static Web Host

  1. Download the file P-Stream.zip from the latest release: https://github.com/p-stream/p-stream/releases/latest.

  2. Extract the ZIP file so you can edit the files.

  3. Open config.js in an editor such as Notepad, Visual Studio Code or similar.

  4. Put your proxy URL in-between the double quotes of VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL: "". Make sure to not have a slash at the end of your URL. Example (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, IT WON’T WORK FOR YOU): VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL: "https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev"

  5. Put your TMDB Read Access Token inside the quotes of VITE_TMDB_READ_API_KEY: "". Please read the TMDB page on how to get an API key.

  6. If you have a self-hosted backend server, enter your URL in the VITE_BACKEND_URL variable. Check out configuration reference for details. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of the URL.

  7. Save the file.

  8. Upload all of the files to a static website hosting such as:

  9. Congrats! You have your own version of P-Stream hosted.

Method 4 - Docker Compose - Home Network

Docker is not recommended! It’s much easier to host the static site and use a proxy like nginx to access.

This method is meant for those using a desktop device or single board computer with a minimum of 4GB of RAM such as a Raspberry Pi to run P-Stream on their home network for network connected devices.

  1. Ensure you have docker installed. In a newly created directory called P-Stream create a file called docker-compose.yaml. Paste the contents of the code block below into this file.

    version: "3.8"
    

    services:
    

      movieweb:
        build:
          context: https://github.com/p-stream/p-stream.git#production
          # args:
          #   TMDB_READ_API_KEY: ""
          #   CORS_PROXY_URL: ""
          #   BACKEND_URL: ""
        ports:
          - "80:80"
        restart: unless-stopped

  2. Fill in the necessary environment variables (see code block comments above).

  3. Start the container with docker compose up -d.
