The Stremio streaming Server Docker image

Run the image

docker run --rm -d -p 11470:11470 -p 12470:12470 stremio/server:latest

If you're running stremio-web locally then you should disable CORS on the server by passing NO_CORS=1 to the env. variables:

docker run --rm -d -p 11470:11470 -p 12470:12470 -e NO_CORS=1 stremio/server:latest

Available ports:

11470 - http
12470 - https

Env. variables:

FFMPEG_BIN - full path to the ffmpeg binary, on platforms where it cannot be reliably determined by the ffmpeg-static package (e.g. darwin aarch64)

FFPROBE_BIN - full path to the ffprobe binary

APP_PATH - custom application path for storing server settings, certificates, etc

NO_CORS - if set to any value it will disable the CORS checks on the server.

Build image

Docker image can be easily built using the included Dockerfile.

By default, the image has ffmpeg installed with a specific version of ffmpeg-jellyfin, for more information check the Dockerfile.

For the desktop build (currently, the only supported platform) do not pass the BUILD argument.

Example: Build a Docker image with Server v4.20.1

NB: On a new Ubuntu release you must update the setup_jellyfin_repo.sh shell script for jellyfin-ffmpeg.

If you're cross-building the image from x86 to arm, you need to either use a QEMU binary or multiarch/qemu-user-static (see below)

Platform: linux/amd64 (also used for linux/x86_64):

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .

Platform: linux/arm64 (alias of linux/arm64/v8):

docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .

Platform linux/arm/v7:

docker buildx build --platform linux/arm/v7 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .

Cross building

Cross building the image from an x86 to arm architecture, you need to either use QEMU emulation binary or the multiarch/qemu-user-static docker image.

Using QEMU

Setup binfmt if you're not on Docker Desktop, if you are you can skip this step. See https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-platform/#qemu for more details.

docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all

arm/v7 docker buildx build --platform linux/arm/v7 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .
arm64 / arm64/v8 docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .

Using `multiarch/qemu-user-static` image

For more details check https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static.

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes

Build a Docker image with a local server.js found in the root of the folder: Note: By passing an empty VERSION argument you will skip downloading the server.js from AWS before overriding it with your local one.

docker buildx build --build-arg VERSION= -t stremio/server:latest .

Arguments

VERSION - specify which version of the server.js you'd like to be downloaded for the docker image.
BUILD - For which platform you'd like to download the server.js.

Other arguments:

NODE_VERSION - the version which will be included in the image and server.js will be ran with.
JELLYFIN_VERSION - jellyfin-ffmpeg version, we currently require version <= 4.4.1.

Publishing on Docker Hub

New releases of Stremio Server are automatically released in Docker Hub using the publish.yml using a custom event type called "new-release" and client payload containing the release tag version.

You can also manually trigger this action with curl and a Personal Access Token generated from Github:

curl -L
   -X POST
   -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json"
   -H "Authorization: Bearer PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
   -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28"
   https://api.github.com/repos/stremio/server-docker/dispatches
   -d '{"event_type":"new-release","client_payload":{"tag": "v4.20.3"}}'

Build images manually

Update version tag:

docker buildx build --push --platform linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7,linux/amd64 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:4.20.1 .

Update latest tag:

docker buildx build --push --platform linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7,linux/amd64 --build-arg VERSION=v4.20.1 -t stremio/server:latest .
