--- title: 'Deploy' --- # Deploying the client ## Method 1 - Vercel - Recommended [![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmovie-web%2Fmovie-web%2Ftree%2Fmaster&env=VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL,VITE_TMDB_READ_API_KEY) 1. Click the Deploy button. 1. Sign in using either a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. 1. Follow the instructions to create a repository for movie-web. 1. Configure the environment variables: - `VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL`: Enter your proxy URL here. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of your URL. Example (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, IT WON'T WORK FOR YOU): `https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev` - `VITE_TMDB_READ_API_KEY`: Enter your TMDB Read Access Token here. Please read [the TMDB page](2.tmdb.md) on how to get an API key. - `VITE_BACKEND_URL`: Only set if you have a self-hosted backend. Put in your backend URL. Check out [configuration reference](../4.client/2.configuration.md) for details. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of the URL. 1. Click "Deploy" 1. Congrats! You have your own version of movie-web hosted. 1. You may wish to configure a custom domain - Please consult [the Vercel docs for how to do this](https://vercel.com/docs/getting-started-with-vercel/domains). ## Method 2 - Static Web Host 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 an editor such as Notepad, Visual Studio Code or similar. 4. Put your 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 AN EXAMPLE, IT WON'T WORK FOR YOU): `VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL: "https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev"` 5. Put your TMDB Read Access Token inside the quotes of `VITE_TMDB_READ_API_KEY: ""`. Please read [the TMDB page](2.tmdb.md) on how to get an API key. 6. If you have a self-hosted backend server, enter your URL in the `VITE_BACKEND_URL` variable. Check out [configuration reference](../4.client/2.configuration.md) for details. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of the URL. 7. Save the file. 8. Upload **all** of the files to a static website hosting such as: - GitHub Pages - Netlify - Vercel - Etc, [there are lots of options](https://www.staticwebsitehosting.org/){target="\_blank"}. 9. Congrats! You have your own version of movie-web hosted. ## Method 3 - Docker Compose - Home Network This method is meant for those using a desktop device or single board computer with a minimum of 4GB of RAM such as a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.com/) to run movie-web on there home network for network connected devices. 1. Ensure you have [docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed. In a newly created directory called `movie-web` create a file called `docker-compose.yaml`. Paste the contents of the code block below into this file. ```yaml version: "3.8" services: movieweb: build: context: https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web.git # args: # PWA_ENABLED: "false" # GA_ID: "" # APP_DOMAIN: "" # OPENSEARCH_ENABLED: "false" # TMDB_READ_API_KEY: "" # CORS_PROXY_URL: "" # DMCA_EMAIL: "" # NORMAL_ROUTER: "false" # BACKEND_URL: "" # HAS_ONBOARDING: "false" # ONBOARDING_CHROME_EXTENSION_INSTALL_LINK: "" # ONBOARDING_PROXY_INSTALL_LINK: "" # DISALLOWED_IDS: "" # CDN_REPLACEMENTS: "" # TURNSTILE_KEY: "" ports: - "80:80" restart: unless-stopped ``` 2. Within the `docker-compose.yaml` file uncomment `args`, `TMDB_READ_API_KEY`, `CORS_PROXY_URL`. - Make sure `args` is in-line with `context` - Make sure `TMDB_READ_API_KEY` and `CORS_PROXY_URL` are tabbed once to the right of `args`. 3. Put your proxy URL in-between the double quotes of `CORS_PROXY_URL: ""`. Make sure to not have a slash at the end of your URL. Example (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, IT WON'T WORK FOR YOU): `CORS_PROXY_URL: "https://test-proxy.test.workers.dev"` 4. Put your TMDB Read Access Token inside the quotes of `TMDB_READ_API_KEY: ""`. Please read [the TMDB page](2.tmdb.md) on how to get an API key. 5. Uncomment and add any [additional environment variables](3.configuration.md) you may need. 6. Save the file! 7. Now use [docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) to run `movieweb` as background service. ```bash # movie-web is the current working directory $ docker compose up -d ``` 8. Verify that setup was successful - Navigate to `http://localhost`. You should see the UI for `movie-web`. Find something to watch and make sure that it plays. - View logs with ```bash $ docker compose logs --follow movieweb ``` 9. Set a static IP address for your device. - For Raspberry Pi: [guide](https://www.makeuseof.com/raspberry-pi-set-static-ip/) - For Mac: [guide](https://www.macinstruct.com/tutorials/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-on-a-mac/) - For Windows: [guide](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-a-static-ip-address) 10.
