Your own open Stremio streaming server
Faster, private, yours. A libtorrent-based replacement for Stremio's closed streaming server — bundled with the web player in a single Docker container. It streams whatever your addons provide; it bundles and indexes nothing.
Two ways to run it
Same software. Pick the path that fits you — do it yourself for free, or let us hand-build the box.
Free & open source
Pull the Docker image and run it on your own hardware. Full control, no cost, no lock-in. For people comfortable with a terminal.
Read the quick startWe build it for you
A small, silent mini-PC, fully set up and tuned. Power it on, point your TV at it, press play. Hand-built to order by ITCOM Solutions.

Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with your machine's LAN or public IP.
Why it's better
Built for the full swarm, tuned for the playhead
Engineering-grade defaults that the closed streaming server can't match — every one of them about reliability and speed, never about content.
Inbound peering
Accepts inbound connections so it reaches the whole swarm — not just the half you can dial out to. More peers, steadier throughput.
Playhead-first
Prioritizes the pieces you're about to watch, so playback starts faster and rebuffers less — even on long files and slow swarms.
TV-trusted HTTPS
Provisions valid certificates automatically, so smart-TVs and casual clients accept the stream without manual trust prompts or workarounds.
Hardware transcode, optional
NVENC / VAAPI acceleration when a GPU is present — and it's GPU-optional, starting fine without one. Add silicon only if you want it.
Quick start
One command, any hardware
Everything ships in a single container — the libtorrent streaming server and the Stremio web player together. Pull, run, point your client at the host. No GPU required.
- GPU is optional. It runs on a Raspberry-class box or an old laptop. Transcoding accelerates only when you opt in.
- Persistent data. The named volume keeps your server state across restarts and upgrades.
- Self-hosted & private. Your traffic stays on your box. Nothing is bundled, indexed, or phoned home.
Pull & run the container
docker run -d --name stremio --restart unless-stopped \
-e IPADDRESS=YOUR_SERVER_IP \
-p 8080:8080 -p 12470:12470 \
-p 6881:6881/tcp -p 6881:6881/udp \
-v stremio-data:/root/.stremio-server \

Open the bundled web player
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080
Point Stremio at your streaming server
In Stremio, set the streaming server URL to your host. Your installed addons decide what's available — this server only fetches and serves what they point to. The exact URL is printed in the container logs — e.g. https://192-168-1-50.519b6502d940.stremio.rocks:12470/ (or, on the same LAN, http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:11470/).
