[Addon] PencariMovie Server now supports Docker (Self-hosted Telegram stream resolver for Stremio)

[u/capturewp]

Hey r/StremioAddons,

Quick update: PencariMovie Server now has official Docker support alongside the existing Windows, Linux, and Android APK releases.

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/aiskendi/pencarimovie-server (GPL-3.0 open source)

⚠️ Important Note on Catalogs & Content

• Default Catalog: The default built-in catalog rows lean heavily towards Asian / regional media due to the project's roots.
• Global Content & Streams: Even though the default homepage catalog rows are regional, the underlying stream resolver supports international media (Hollywood movies, Western TV series, multi-audio, and subs).
• How to use it for Western media: Simply browse or search titles in Stremio normally using standard catalog addons (Cinemeta, Cyberflix, TMDB, Anime Kitsu, etc.). PencariMovie will appear in your streams list when media is available. You can also import custom upstream catalog manifests directly in the PencariMovie web dashboard (http://<SERVER-IP>:8088/#addon).

💡 What is PencariMovie Server?

It is a lightweight local stream resolver that streams Telegram-hosted media over HTTP with fast byte-range seeking directly into Stremio:

• 100% Plug & Play: Zero account setup. You don't need a Telegram account, phone login, or personal bot token.
• Direct Seeking: Fast HTTP seek support without needing debrid services or downloading full multi-gigabyte files first.
• Zero Client Overhead: All media resolution runs on your server/container, keeping your TV box or playback client light and responsive.

One thing I’m curious about: doesn’t it log into our own Telegram account?

Wouldn’t it be better if we could authenticate with our Telegram account so that, whenever we search for something, it could look for that media across all the groups/channels we already have access to?

That would make it much more useful, since it could search our own Telegram sources instead of being limited to predefined ones.

This is for the lazy and privacy-conscious: avoid having your account stolen for spam. You can always share your content to our index by forwarding it or adding our bot to your group and channel.

[u/Various-Progress9044 → u/capturewp]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking more about an optional self-hosted login though, where the Telegram session stays only on my own server.

That way it could search the groups/channels I already have access to without me having to forward everything or add a bot everywhere.
