Guide to Self-Deployment with Docker Compose

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose:

   Ensure that Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system. You can follow the official Docker documentation for installation instructions:

   • Install Docker

2. Create a Docker Compose file:

   Create a new file named docker-compose.yml in your project directory and paste the following content into it:

   services:
     postgres:
       image: postgres
       environment:
         POSTGRES_USER: pstream_user
         POSTGRES_DB: pstream
         POSTGRES_PASSWORD: YourPasswordHere
       ports:
         - "5432:5432"
       networks:
         - p-stream-network
     p-stream:
       image: ghcr.io/okikio/backend:latest
       environment:
         DATABASE_URL: postgresql://pstream_user:YourPasswordHere@postgres:5432/pstream
         CRYPTO_SECRET: 32CharacterLongStringHere
         META_NAME: unofficial-backend
       ports:
         - "80:80"
       depends_on:
         - postgres
       networks:
         - p-stream-network
   
     p-stream-frontend:
       build:
         context: https://github.com/p-stream/p-stream.git
         args:
           TMDB_READ_API_KEY: "YourTMDBReadAPIKeyHere"
           CORS_PROXY_URL: "https://cors.example.tld https://second.cors.example.tld"
           BACKEND_URL: "https://backend.example.tld"
           DMCA_EMAIL: "YourEmail"
           PWA_ENABLED: "true"
           APP_DOMAIN: "YourDomainHere"
           OPENSEARCH_ENABLED: "true"
           GA_ID: "Google ID Here"
       ports:
         - "80:80"
       networks:
         - p-stream-network
       restart: unless-stopped
   
     p-stream-proxy:
       image: ghcr.io/p-stream/simple-proxy:latest
       ports:
         - "3000:3000"
       networks:
         - p-stream-network
       restart: unless-stopped
   
   networks:
     p-stream-network:
       driver: bridge

   Important:

   • Replace YourPasswordHere with your secure database password.
   • Generate a strong session secret and replace 32CharacterLongStringHere.
   • Replace TMDBReadAPIKey with your api key, learn more here.
   • Replace YourDomainHere with whatever you’ll be using to access your main site, like pstream.mov.
   • Replace meta__name and meta__description.

3. Start the Backend: Open a terminal in the directory containing docker-compose.yml and execute:

   docker compose up --detach

Accessing Your Backend

Your services should be accessible on (YourPrivateIP):port. To share it outside your local network, you’ll need to configure port forwarding or cloudflared tunnel.

Optional: Implementing a Reverse Proxy

To enhance your SSL and domain configuration, it’s advisable to establish a reverse proxy, such as Nginx. For an optimal choice in this regard, Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnel is recommended. You can find more information here.
