Self-hosted PWA

Run the browser app and its backend together with Docker:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -d

Open . No separate backend container is needed. Connected clients can share source definitions; favorites, history and watch progress stay on each device.

The PWA does not include M3U XMLTV, Embedded MPV, managed external-player launching, the download manager or Electron remote-control features. See Docker setup and client connections for configuration, reverse proxies, playback troubleshooting and platform limits.

For the separate experimental webOS TV client, see TV setup and TV architecture and limitations.
