# Self-hosted IPTVnator
The self-hosted image contains both pieces required for the browser PWA:
- Angular PWA static files served by nginx
- The monorepo `web-backend` Express app proxied under `/api`
The historical standalone `4gray/iptvnator-backend` image is no longer needed
for the default Docker deployment.
## Run With Docker Compose
From the repository root:
```bash
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -d
```
The ready-to-run compose file is [`docker-compose.yml`](./docker-compose.yml).
By default the app is available at <http://localhost:4333>. No additional
environment variables, backend repository checkout, or separate backend
container are required for the default local deployment.
## Build The Image
```bash
docker build -t 4gray/iptvnator -f docker/Dockerfile .
```
The image build runs:
```bash
pnpm nx build web --configuration=pwa
pnpm nx build web-backend
```
## Published Docker Tags
Pull request builds validate the Dockerfile without pushing an image. Docker
Hub publishing happens only from trusted repository events.
Publishing requires the repository secrets `DOCKERHUB_USERNAME` and
`DOCKERHUB_TOKEN`; pull request builds and default manual runs do not use those
secrets.
| Tag pattern | Published from | Use case |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `latest` | `master` pushes | Default self-hosted image for users who want the newest merged PWA build. |
| `<version>-pwa` | `master` pushes | Latest PWA image for the current `package.json` version. |
| `<version>-pwa-<sha>` | `master` pushes | Immutable PWA image for a specific merged commit within a version. |
| `sha-<sha>` | `master` pushes | Commit-addressable image, useful for rollback and support diagnostics. |
| `<version>` / `v<version>` | `v*` release tags | Release image aligned with a repository release tag. |
| `stable` | Stable `v*` release tags | Most recent non-prerelease tagged release image. |
| `manual-<sha>` | Manual runs with `push` | Explicit maintainer-triggered rebuilds outside normal publish events. |
Use `latest` for the simplest self-hosted setup. Pin `sha-<sha>` or
`<version>-pwa-<sha>` when you need reproducible deployments. Use release tags
when you want the Docker image to track a tagged IPTVnator release rather than
every merge to `master`.
## Runtime Configuration
The container writes `/usr/share/nginx/html/assets/app-config.js` on startup.
That file sets `window.__IPTVNATOR_CONFIG__.BACKEND_URL`, which the PWA reads
before it creates `PwaService`.
These variables are supported by the Docker image. The compose file sets the
safe local defaults shown below.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BACKEND_URL` | `/api` | Browser-facing backend URL used by the PWA. Keep `/api` for the bundled nginx proxy. |
| `CLIENT_URL` | `http://localhost:4333` | Allowed browser origin for backend CORS. Use the public URL when hosting behind a reverse proxy. Multiple origins can be comma-separated. |
| `PORT` | `3000` | Internal Express backend port. nginx proxy config is rendered from the template to match it at startup. |
| `IPTVNATOR_PROXY_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS` | `0` | Set to `1` or `true` only for trusted local/LAN deployments that intentionally proxy private network IPTV or mock endpoints. |
| `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` | unset | Optional Node.js CA bundle path for providers using private certificate authorities. Mount the CA file into the container and set this path. |
The web backend proxy accepts only `http` and `https` provider URLs. The PWA
first registers provider URLs through `/provider-targets`, then uses the
returned `targetId` for playlist, Xtream, and Stalker proxy calls. The backend
blocks loopback, private, link-local, and reserved network targets by default so
a publicly exposed instance cannot be used as a generic internal-network
fetcher. If you enable `IPTVNATOR_PROXY_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS=1`, keep the
instance restricted to trusted users.
For providers that use private certificate authorities, keep TLS validation
enabled and pass the CA bundle to Node:
```yaml
services:
iptvnator:
volumes:
- ./ca.pem:/etc/ssl/private/provider-ca.pem:ro
environment:
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS: /etc/ssl/private/provider-ca.pem
```
The entrypoint renders the nginx config from `docker/nginx.conf`, starts the
backend, waits for `/health`, and only then starts nginx. The nginx config
serves the PWA with SPA fallback, avoids caching `assets/app-config.js`, and
proxies `/api/*` to the internal backend. The Dockerfile and compose file both
define a health check against `/api/health`. If nginx or the backend exits
after startup, the entrypoint exits the container so Docker Compose can apply
the `restart: unless-stopped` policy.
## Local Validation
```bash
pnpm nx test web-backend
pnpm nx build web --configuration=pwa --skip-nx-cache
pnpm nx build web-backend
pnpm nx run web-e2e:e2e -- --project=chromium --grep @self-hosted
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml config
```
