Before you host, if ur server is in usa, set the proxylocation to USA (which is the default) - if you use any eu server set it to EU instead to make videos load faster

• To self host your own Poke instance, you'll need the following:

  • Node.js
  • npm (Included with Node.js)

Once you have everything, clone our repo:
