Can I deploy it on a RPi instead of Heroku?

Hi

Thank you so much for this amazing addon, I really appreciate it!

1- I have a Raspberry Pi that's running 24 hours, so I was wondering of there's a way to deploy your script on it instead of Heroku? If so, do you know how?

2- Is Heroku being used to download from GDrive and upload to Stremio, or is it only being used to fetch the results and push the GDrive links?

I'm assuming it's downloading and uploading, hence why I want to deploy on my own device to get faster speeds... If it's only fetching links, then Heroku is more than enough I guess and I won't need my RPi 😅

BTW, when can we expect the Android update that allows the addon to run without a proxy?

1. Yeah its possible. I assume you have linux with python (3.9.4 and above) installed on it, then do the following:

• Download the script and install the dependencies:

  git clone https://github.com/ssnjrthegr8/stremio-gdrive
  cd stremio-gdrive
  pip install -r requirements.txt

• Set the environment variables:

  export TOKEN='Paste your token string here'
  export CF_PROXY_URL='Paste your proxy url here'

• Run it:

  gunicorn app:app --log-file=- || ~/.local/bin/gunicorn app:app --log-file=-

  2. All heroku does is fetch the search result data and give it to the format stremio needs. Gdrive cant have direct download links for files that are not public, afaik, so I use cloudflare to proxy it so that we get a direct link that stremio can use. All the proxy does is fetch the file from gdrive by passing an access token in the header. Up until now stremio does not support passing custom headers so thats why the proxy is being used. Now stremio desktop supports it and the next version of the android app will support it as well.

If you are facing slow speeds from the proxy try using cloudflares warp VPN.

You would have to ask the stremio android dev team if you want an ETA for the android app update.

Thank you for the detailed reply, much appreciated I'll try the vpn and check if it helps, thanks :)

Also, is it possible to pass the file's name to external player apps like Torrentio does? It helps in downloading subtitles correctly

Only if you use the proxy, I will add that to the todo list

Thank you very much, that would be great 💯 I'll close the issue since everything is fine now, so thank you
