occ files:scan --all (or something like that)

Linux mint is in my opinion the best distro for a new user, but you may personally not be fond of the UI.

I don’t know how to write a guide for you, but if you have more specific questions feel free to ask them, best of luck!

I managed to selfhost the web interface, but I encountered an issue that I don’t think I can fix…

I used this docker run command (not compose yet, just testing)

docker run -it --rm --name stremio-web -p 8080:8080 node:alpine sh -c """ apk add git git clone https://github.com/stremio/stremio-web --depth 1 cd stremio-web npm install npm run build npm install -g http-server http-server build/ -p 8080 -d false """

And I can reach the web ui. Now I can go into the settings page and set the backend url, which works perfectly. But when I go to the discover page nothing loads because it wants to reach stremio’s own servers.

Note: To access my selfhosted services I use a firefox profile that doesn’t have access to the internet, to be able to fully seflhost my stuff, that’s why the connection to their servers is blocked.

Is there a way to proxy these remote connections from the backend or am I just lost at this point?

You pay and you’re still the product, they continue with all the tracking they do.

I would love it on Piped, they already have sponsorblock

Should I try it instead of Piped? If so, why?

No ads, no tracking, just donations. The model proved itself when twitter went to shit and a big influx of users came to mastodon, it all worked out.

I was going to suggest the Pinetime, but it is far from close to what you’re asking. Have you looked at the Bangle.js 2 watch? It has GPS at least.

The fact that it is open source means it’s worth playing
