Stremio Debian Repository

Unofficial Debian packages for Stremio media center. Built from source, following Debian packaging standards.

Third-party repository: These packages are not yet part of the official Debian archive. They have been submitted for review via ITPs (Intent to Package) and are pending sponsorship. See Source Code & ITPs below for details.

Available Clients

Three Stremio client packages are available. Choose the one that fits your system:

Package	Toolkit	Distributions	Architectures	Status
stremio-gtk	GTK4 / CEF	Debian sid	amd64	Recommended
stremio-qt6	Qt6 / QtWebEngine	Debian trixie, sid; Ubuntu plucky	amd64, arm64	Experimental
stremio	Qt5 / QtWebEngine	Debian bookworm, trixie, testing, sid; Ubuntu noble	amd64, arm64	Legacy (Qt5 EOL)

All clients require stremio-server (proprietary, non-free component) for BitTorrent streaming and casting.

Quick Installation

Step 1: Add repository GPG key

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
    wget -qO - https://debian.vejeta.com/key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg

Verify the key fingerprint matches:

gpg --show-keys /etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg
    # Expected: 2A84 0ED0 0DE6 69F4 219B  8B33 02A7 9E3B 8215 1695

Step 2: Add repository source

Choose your distribution:

Distribution	Command
Debian testing	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com testing main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list
Debian trixie (13)	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com trixie main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list
Debian bookworm (12)	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com bookworm main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list
Debian sid / Kali	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com sid main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list
Ubuntu 24.04 (noble)	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com noble main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list
Ubuntu 25.04 (plucky)	echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com plucky main non-free" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stremio.list

Step 3: Install

sudo apt update

Then install the client for your system:

Client	Install command
stremio-gtk (Debian sid)	`sudo apt install stremio-gtk stremio-server`
stremio-qt6 (trixie/sid/plucky)	`sudo apt install stremio-qt6 stremio-server`
stremio Qt5 (all others)	`sudo apt install stremio stremio-server`

About the Clients

stremio-gtk (Recommended)

Modern GTK4/Adwaita client using CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). Native Wayland support, follows GNOME HIG. This is the actively developed successor to the Qt5 client. CEF dependencies (libcef147, libcef-common) are installed automatically.

stremio-qt6 (Experimental)

Experimental Qt6 port for users who prefer KDE/Plasma or Qt-based desktop environments. Provides a non-deprecated Qt client as a workaround while the Qt5 version reaches end-of-life. Can be installed alongside stremio-gtk.

stremio (Legacy)

Original Qt5/QtWebEngine client. Still functional on bookworm and trixie but will not receive updates once Qt5 is removed from Debian.

Security & Verification

All packages are signed with the maintainer's GPG key. The repository metadata (InRelease, Release.gpg) is signed on every deploy.

Property	Value
Key fingerprint	`2A84 0ED0 0DE6 69F4 219B 8B33 02A7 9E3B 8215 1695`
Key type	RSA 4096-bit
Maintainer	Juan Manuel Méndez Rey <juan.mendezr@proton.me>
Keyserver	keys.openpgp.org
Build pipeline	GitHub Actions (all builds are public and auditable)

To verify the installed key matches:

gpg --show-keys /etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg 2>/dev/null | grep -q "2A840ED00DE669F4219B8B3302A79E3B82151695" && echo "Key OK" || echo "Key MISMATCH"
