This installation guide will guide you through the recommended installation process for beginners.
If you are not experienced with selfhosting, then this is the guide for you.
You need to have a server that will download and stream the content for you. Don't worry, you don't need anything fancy, an old PC or a Raspberry Pi will be perfectly fine.
First, you need to install Linux on this computer.
If you have a Raspberry pi, then I recommend following this guide.
If you are using a regular PC as your server, then I recommend installing Ubuntu through this guide.
Once you have your server set up correctly and it is connected to your router, it's time to install CasaOS on it.
Open the terminal on your server machine.
Type the following command into the terminal:
curl -fsSL https://get.casaos.io | sudo bashIt might ask you for your password (If you type in your password, but nothing changes on the screen, don't worry, things are still happening, the system is simply hiding your password).
I recommend watching this video by BigBearTechWorld if you would like a video guide.
Open the CasaOS App Store.
Search for Cloudflared
Click install, then open Cloudflared.
In a new browser tab, open cloudflare and create an account (or log in if you already have one).
Once you are logged in, go to Domain registration ➡️ Register Domains.
Search for a domain name that you like (Tip: some domain names are cheaper than others, so look for something that you are comfortable paying for each year. Don't forget to check the renewal price too.)
Provide your details and complete the purchase.
Click on Zero Trust in the Cloudflare sidebar.
Inside the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard, click on Networks ➡️ Tunnels.
Click on Create a tunnel.
Select Cloudflared.
Name your tunnel according to your preferences.
On the Configure page, click on Windows, then copy the command.
Go back to the Cloudflared tab, paste the command into the Tunnel Connector Token textbox. Remove the unnecessary command keywords at the beginning to only leave the token itself. Click on Save and Start.
You can close Cloudflared now, but don't close Cloudflare Zero Trust.
Back on the CasaOS Dashboard, click the Plus icon and add a customized app.
Click on the import button, then import the following configuration text.

Go to the addon to configure the settings.
If your CasaOS page is running on http://192.168.1.167, then your addon is running at http://192.168.1.167:3000.
You should see the installation wizard here.
Follow this guide to finish the setup.
If you bought the domain my-homelab.me, then your Addon URL will be https://stremio-ncore-addon.my-homelab.me.
Once Cloudflared is running, you can click "Next" in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard.
This will prompt you to create a public hostname.
Fill out the details in the following way:
(Of course you should select your own domain in the dropdown).
The addon is now running at your Addon URL. You should now check out the Client Setup Guide to know how to add the addon to your TV / media device.
