Note: Although deploying is recommended, there is also the alternative of using localtunnel to host your add-ons locally.
Stremio add-ons require hosting in order to be published. You will need a NodeJS hosting solution, as Stremio Add-ons made with the Stremio Add-on SDK are NodeJS apps.
We recommend:
- Now.sh - free with some restrictions
- Glitch - free with some restrictions
- Heroku - free with some restrictions
- cloudno.de - free for up to 150k requests/month
- Evennode - free for 7 days trial
We hugely recomment using Now.sh, as it is extremely easy to use.
You can also check this very comprehensive guide by nodejs.
Stremio add-ons are deployed just like regular nodejs apps, so follow the nodejs instructions provided by your particular service provider.
If you've built a great add-on, and need help with hosting your add-on, you are welcome to contact us at addons@stremio.com
If you want your add-on to appear in the list of Community add-ons in Stremio, check out publishToCentral
If you are not using the Add-on SDK to create your add-on, you can publish your add-on in the list of Community add-ons in Stremio by submitting it on this site
