Which Instance Should I Use?

The short answer: ElfHosted for most people, ElfHosted Private if you hit rate limits, Yeb’s as a solid backup.

ElfHosted (Free)

Best starting point. Debrid-only — no P2P or HTTP streams, which matches Core Builds perfectly. All templates are tested and verified here first. Expect rate limiting under heavy use.

ElfHosted Private

Same host, no rate limits. ~$9/month from the ElfHosted store. Worth it if you stream several hours a day or share a config across multiple profiles.

Yeb's (fortheweak)

Run by an AIOStreams Discord admin. Fast and reliable. Uses a stricter regex whitelist — all Core Builds templates (v2.9.0+) are verified against it. Good free alternative to ElfHosted.
Self-hosting is always the best option if you’re comfortable with Docker — no rate limits, full control, and you stay on your own hardware. See the AIOStreams self-hosting guide.
Green = host is reachable. Does not guarantee the instance accepts new configs or that your template will import correctly. Always test with a fresh import after choosing a host.

Stable Instances

Live table retired (2026-08-13). The every-6-hours auto-refresh was removed: it lived on a fragile write-to-main cron and its last weeks disagreed with reality (hosts shown online that were unreachable). For a live answer now, use Core Builds → Tools → Preflight — it probes the exact host you target, against your real config, on demand. Instance guidance below stays — it’s timeless advice, not a heartbeat.

​
Nightly Instances

Nightly instances run the latest AIOStreams development build. Features may be incomplete or unstable. Use for Labs templates only.
Nightly-instance health is likewise retired here. Nightly instances move fast by design; check your nightly host directly, or run its URL through Preflight before installing Labs builds.

​
Instance Notes

Most stable public option. Public instance is debrid-only — no P2P or HTTP streams, which suits Core Builds perfectly. Paid private plan available at store.elfhosted.com/product/aiostreams (~$9/month) with no rate limits.
Run by an AIOStreams Discord admin. Reliable uptime, fast. Uses a stricter regex whitelist than ElfHosted — as of v2.9.0 all Core Builds templates are verified against it.
Run by the TorBox community manager. Optimised for TorBox setups. ⚠️ Currently running Meteor Rewrite V2 Beta — Your Media is not yet available. You may need to reconfigure your manifest after importing.
The AIOStreams developer’s own instance. Nightly only — tracks the main branch directly. Most up-to-date features but least stable.
Community-run. Both stable and nightly available.
Community-run. Good uptime track record.
Community-run.

Missing an Instance?

If you run a public AIOStreams instance and want it listed here, open an issue with the URL and it will be added to the status checker.
