Easy stremio on Docker

Fork Disclaimer

• This is a fork of the original stremio-docker rep
• This fork modifes the server.js and adds the ability to define a prefix
  • This Prefix can be added with the env URL_PREFIX
  • This solution will probably not work.
  • Recommended is trying nginx conf first.

Env	Default	Example	Description
URL_PREFIX	-	/stremio-server	Sets a url prefix for the server

Nginx Setup

There are two ways to setup nginx. Everything here was setup using the stremio-docker image.

1. Using a prefix

    # Stremio-specific route
    location /stremio-server/ {
        # Strip stremio-server
        rewrite ^/stremio-server/(.*) /$1 break;

        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

• The Streaming Server URL would be https://stremio.mydomain.com/stremio-server/
• If this does not work and videos for example dont play then you can try by explicitly allowing all routes the server might call.
  • You can also find all routes in server-routes.md
  • You can find a example.conf here

2. Explicitly allowing (Recommended)

# Stremio-specific routes
    location ~ ^/(hlsv2|casting|local-addon|proxy|rar|zip|settings|create|removeAll|samples|probe|subtitlesTracks|opensubHash|subtitles|network-info|device-info|get-https|hwaccel-profiler|status|exec|stream) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location ~ ^/([^/]+)/(stats\.json|create|remove|destroy) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location ~ ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(stats\.json|hls\.m3u8|master\.m3u8|stream\.m3u8|dlna|thumb\.jpg) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location ~ ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(stream-q-[^/]+\.m3u8|stream-[^/]+\.m3u8|subs-[^/]+\.m3u8) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location ~ ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(stream-q-[^/]+|stream-[^/]+)/[^/]+\.(ts|mp4) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location ~ ^/yt/([^/]+)(\.json)? {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

    location = /(thumb\.jpg|stats\.json) {
        proxy_pass http://stremio-container:11470;
    }

• The Streaming Server URL would be https://stremio.mydomain.com/
• This solution should always work.
• You can find a example.conf here
• This also allows for the Stremio Web URL and Streaming Server URL to be the same:
  • Stremio Web URL accessible at: https://stremio.mydomain.com/
  • Streaming Server URL: https://stremio.mydomain.com/

Basic Auth

• With those solutions basic auth is as easy as adding it for the base domain https://stremio.mydomain.com/
• Stremio Web, Stremio Server and any addons are on the same base url and will be therefor protected!
• With basic auth simply visit Stremio Web login with basic auth and you are good to go!

Thoughts

As of my knowledge for now these are the best solutions to achive basic auth by having Stremio Web, Stremio Server and any addons on one url.

I personally recommend the second nginx setup as this allows for the server url to be the same as the web url and therefor begin a quite smooth solution. Even tho this might have the drawback when the Stremio Server gets updated it might block new endpoints.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful time <3
