Home DVR setup

GridStreamr DVR records live TV, movies and series to storage you own. Files stay private; the phone app (Premium) pairs over Wi‑Fi or controls jobs remotely with Cloud Relay. Download installers from gridstreamr.com/download/dvr.

macOS and Windows

1. Download the installer for Apple silicon, Intel Mac, or Windows x64.
2. Run the installer. It registers an auto-start background service bound on port 8787.
3. Open the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:8787.
4. In GridStreamr (Premium): Settings → DVR → LAN → Find on Wi‑Fi, then enter the one-time pairing code.

Linux

Docker is the simplest path. To run the binary as a systemd service, install Go 1.26+, Node 20+, and FFmpeg, then use sudo ./packaging/linux/install.sh.

Docker

Pick gridstreamr/gridstreamr-dvr-amd64:latest or gridstreamr/gridstreamr-dvr-arm64:latest. Mount host folders to /data and /recordings, publish port 8787, then pair with Premium. Sample compose is on the DVR download page.

Cloud Relay and uninstall

In the app: Settings → DVR → Cloud → Link a DVR. macOS uninstall: sudo gridstreamr-dvr-uninstall. Windows: Settings → Apps → GridStreamr DVR.
