ELI6 Movies — open source free streaming site built with vanilla JS + Node.js, $0/month to run
(eli6movies.vercel.app)
ELI6 Movies is a free streaming site I built — vanilla JS frontend, Node.js/Express backend, MongoDB.
Runs entirely on free tiers (Vercel + Render + Atlas M0). Zero cost to deploy yourself.
Features: episode notifications, smart server failover, watchlist, i18n (EN/IT/RU), mobile-first.
fair point. render free tier has no static IPs so you literally cant restrict by IP, its 0.0.0.0/0 or pick a different host. but yeah the README made it sound like a feature rather than a tradeoff, updated it to be clearer that strong credentials + TLS are what actually protect you here
You can. Your AI slop just doesn't know how.
you are right, my bad. render publishes fixed CIDR ranges per region, you can get them from the dashboard and allowlist those in atlas instead of 0.0.0.0/0. updating the readme
