Note: Although deploying is recommended, there is also the alternative of using localtunnel to host your addons locally.
Stremio addons require hosting in order to be published. You will need a NodeJS hosting solution, as Stremio Addons made with the Stremio Addon SDK are NodeJS apps.
We recommend:
- Beamup - free
- Heroku - free with some restrictions
- Fleek - free with some restricitions
- Glitch - free with some restrictions
- cloudno.de - free for up to 150k requests/month
- Evennode - free for 7 days trial
You can also check this very comprehensive guide by nodejs.
Stremio addons are deployed just like regular nodejs apps, so follow the nodejs instructions provided by your particular service provider.
If you've built a great addon, and need help with hosting your addon, you are welcome to contact us at [email protected]
NOTE: we used to recommend now.sh, but after getting reports from multiple developers of now.sh suspending accounts without good reason, we no longer recommend it
If you want your addon to appear in the list of Community addons in Stremio, check out publishToCentral
If you are not using the Addon SDK to create your addon, you can publish your addon in the list of Community addons in Stremio by submitting it on this site
