So you wanna selfhost. This app is made of two parts:
- The proxy
- The client
## Hosting the proxy
The proxy is made as a cloudflare worker, cloudflare has a generous free plan, so you don't need to pay anything unless you get hundreds of users.
1. Create a cloudflare account at [https://dash.cloudflare.com](https://dash.cloudflare.com)
2. Navigate to `Workers`.
3. If it asks you, choose a subdomain
4. If it asks for a workers plan, press "Continue with free"
5. Create a new service with a name of your choice. Must be type `HTTP handler`
6. On the service page, Click `Quick edit`
7. Download the `worker.js` file from the latest release of the proxy: [https://github.com/movie-web/simple-proxy/releases/latest](https://github.com/movie-web/simple-proxy/releases/latest)
8. Open the downloaded `worker.js` file in notepad, VScode or similar.
9. Copy the text contents of the `worker.js` file.
10. Paste the text contents into the edit screen of the cloudflare service worker.
11. Click `Save and deploy` and confirm.
Your proxy is now hosted on cloudflare. Note the url of your worker. you will need it later.
## Hosting the client
1. Download the file `movie-web.zip` from the latest release: [https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/releases/latest](https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/releases/latest)
2. Extract the zip file so you can edit the files.
5. Put your TMDB read access token inside the quotes of `VITE_TMDB_API_KEY: "",`. You can generate it for free at [https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api](https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api).
