Self-hosting tutorial

Note

We do not provide support on how to self-host. If you can't figure it out then tough luck. Please do not make GitHub issues or ask in our Discord server for support on how to self-host.

So you would like to self-host. 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.
  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. Remove the template code in the quick edit window.
  8. Download the worker.js file from the latest release of the proxy: https://github.com/movie-web/simple-proxy/releases/latest.
  9. Open the downloaded worker.js file in Notepad, Visual Studio Code or similar.
  10. Copy the text contents of the worker.js file.
  11. Paste the text contents into the edit screen of the Cloudflare service worker.
  12. Click Save and deploy and confirm.

Your proxy is now hosted on Cloudflare. Note the url of your worker as 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.

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

  3. Open config.js in Notepad, Visual Studio Code or similar.

  4. Put your Cloudflare 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 MINE, IT WONT WORK FOR YOU): VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL: "https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev",

  5. Save the file.

Your client has now been prepared, you can now host it with any static website hosting (Common ones include GitHub Pages, Netlify and Vercel but any will work!). It doesn't require PHP, it's just a standard static page.
