This will help your movie-web/sudo-flix instance grab the meta tags (movie name, movie images, movie description) to serve to preview crawlers. Such as Facebook, Discord, Telegram, Twitter, etc.
Basically, all this script does is write out the meta tags of the movie URL. You ne 7800 ed to setup re-write rules as movie-web/sudo-flix doesn't do server-side rendering. That's what this script is for.
This requires you to host your movie web or sudo flix instance on Cloudflare or at least use Cloudflare to proxy your DNS.
-
Login to Cloudflare and select the domain of your main movie-web/sudo-flix site.
-
Go to Rules > Transform Rules > Modify Request Header > Create Rule
-
Name your rule something like "If Preview Crawler"
-
In the box below "Expression Preview", to the right of that box, click "Edit Expression"
-
Paste the following into the box:
(http.user_agent contains "facebookinternalhit") or (http.user_agent contains "facebookinternalhit/") or (http.user_agent eq "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)") or (http.user_agent contains "TwitterBot") or (http.user_agent contains "Twitterbot") or (http.user_agent eq "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Discordbot/2.0; +https://discordapp.com)") or (http.user_agent contains "Discordbot/2.0") or (http.user_agent contains "Discordbot") or (http.user_agent eq "facebookexternalhit/1.1") or (http.user_agent eq "facebookcatalog/1.0") or (http.user_agent eq "Facebot/1.0") or (http.user_agent eq "SkypeUriPreview") or (http.user_agent contains "LinkedInBot/1.0") or (http.user_agent contains "facebookexternalhit/1.0") or (http.user_agent contains "Slackbot") or (http.user_agent contains "redditbot") or (http.user_agent contains "WhatsApp") or (http.user_agent contains " BingPreview") or (http.user_agent contains "Mastodon") or (http.user_agent contains "bitlybot") or (http.user_agent contains "AddThis.com")
-
Under "Then" select "Set Static"
-
Set Header Name to
"X-Rewrite"and Value to"true"
Assuming you're using vercel to host your sudo-flix/MW instance (if not, than use .htaccess or another way to redo re-writes)
-
Then go to your
vercel.jsonfile of your main movie-web/sudo-flix source code (not this one) -
Redo your
rewritesto look like the following:
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "/opensearch.xml",
"destination": "/opensearch.xml"
},
{
"source": "/media/(.*)",
"has": [
{
"type": "header",
"key": "x-rewrite",
"value": "true"
}
],
"destination": "https://yourmetatagappdomaian.com/media/$1"
},
{
"source": "/(.*)",
"destination": "/"
}
],
Replace https://yourmetatagappdomain.com with whatever URL you're hosting this code on.
- Set your
TMDB_API_KEYandMW_BASE_URL(MW_BASE URL = your main movie-web/sudo-flix website without trailing slash) - Deploy your code.
Click the button below to deploy to vercel.
