Installation

Docker (recommended)

Using published image:

docker run -d \
  --name flixor \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -e SESSION_SECRET=your-secure-secret-here \
  -v flixor-config:/app/config \
  -v flixor-cache:/app/cache \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/flixorui/flixor:latest

Or with Docker Compose, create a docker-compose.yml:

services:
  flixor:
    image: ghcr.io/flixorui/flixor:latest
    container_name: flixor
    environment:
      - SESSION_SECRET=your-secure-secret-here
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - flixor-config:/app/config
      - flixor-cache:/app/cache
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  flixor-config:
  flixor-cache:

Then run:

docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8080 and sign in with Plex.

Build from source:

git clone https://github.com/flixorui/flixor.git
cd flixor
SESSION_SECRET=your-secret docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Local development

1. Install Node.js 18+ and npm
2. Run: npm install then npm run dev:all
3. Open http://localhost:5173 and sign in with Plex

Notes

• The app calls the backend via relative /api so it works from any device on your network.
• Vite dev server is reachable on your LAN. Visit http://YOUR_COMPUTER_IP:5173 on your phone/another PC.
• If you need to point dev proxy to a different backend, set VITE_PROXY_TARGET in .env (see .env.example).

That’s it—no extra setup needed. The app uses the bundled backend by default; the database is created and migrations run automatically on first start.
