### Self Hosters READ:
|
|
|
|
Most sources marked with 🔥 or 🤝 are only avaliable on https://pstream.org
|
|
|
|
Because these scrapers are getting harder and harder to maintain, as they get patched. We need to close-source them. This is unfortunate, but it's the reality of the pirating scene. Sites that we scrape are blocking us, and we keep losing them. Fortunately, P-Stream has partnered with many people who offered their services on the site.
|
|
You are still free to self-host; several sources are still usable, with more open-source ones coming soon. If you have experience coding, this is a great oppurtunity to develop your own scrapers.

# Introduction to the client
|
|
|
|
The client is what users sees when navigating to your domain, it's the main part of the application and houses the interface and all of the scraping logic.
|
|
|
|
## Progressive Web App
|
|
|
|
The client can be optionally ran as a [PWA](https://web.dev/explore/progressive-web-apps), which allows it to be installed on a mobile device. **This can be hard to do correctly and really hard if not almost impossible to reverse**, so it's generally not recommended to do so if you don't have experience hosting PWAs. If you understand the risks and still want to continue, then read more about it [here](../self-hosting/about-pwa.mdx).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The client features various configuration options, some of which are required for the client to function. [If you are using Vercel to host the client](./deploy.mdx#method-1-vercel-recommended), then the required variables are a necessary part of creating the site, if you're using another host, or hosting it for yourself, you'll need to set them up yourself.
|
|
|
|
You can view all of the configuration options on the [configurations page](./configuration.mdx).
