I’ve spent the majority of the last year hammering away at Pinepods. It’s a Rust based podcast management system that manages podcasts with multi-user support and relies on a central database with clients to connect to it. It’s complete with a browser based client and your podcasts and settings follow you from device to device due to everything being stored on the server. AntennaPod is great and all but sometimes I want to listen to podcasts from my laptop. Here’s a great solution to that problem that keeps all your data in your network. There’s also a client edition that you can download and install for mac, linux and windows.

Search both The Podcast Index or Itunes to browse through shows and episodes, Import or export opmls of your podcasts, utilize the standard of podcasting 2.0. It’s all fully dockerized and you can have an instance of your own up and running in 5 mins! You can also add custom feeds using urls of course.

A few other features: - Playback Speed Control - Support for feeds without audio in them - Support for either mysql or mariadb - Nextcloud gpodder timestamp and episode sync - Great for Podcast archival with support for mounting a nas or other storage location to download to

If you’re on the fence you can try it out without installing the server too! Check the website for more info!

There’s a lot more to come down the pipeline as well, such as a lightweight TUI client to stream episodes to, alternate login options via authjs and postgres database support (will be rolling out after this weekend). Now is the perfect time to check it out and enjoy continued feature updates! Feel free to open issues or PRs if you experience any problems. Or drop a line on the discord. I’m happy to help!
