What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday! in c/[email protected]

Pinepods 0.7.4 is out! So as the Dev I'm going through new issues and knocking them out. Smart playlists, oidc logins and notifications on release are all a thing now on the self hosted podcast platform! We're nearing a v1 release with features on par with some of the big time podcast apps.

Yep! The Android App is somewhat in the works. It compiles, works and has all the features of the web version currently. The things that don't work are the aspects that make it an actual Android app. Like local device downloads and integration with Android APIs. That stuff is coming. After this next minor release getting to those are my priority.

Not that I'm biased or anything, but Pinepods objectively has WAYYY more features than audiobookshelf for podcast management. Because it's a podcast server of course. Things like podcast 2.0 support with chapters, hosts, and transcripts, YouTube channel support, embedded podcast Index, YouTube and iTunes search support, external RSS feed support, etc. Audiobookshelf is great, but it's an audiobook app. It'd probably be clutter to add a lot of this stuff.

And true on the link. It should redirect though.

Working on Smart Playlists for Pinepods I'm the developer of the self-hosted podcast management server and Sunday is always my new feature day. I've had a lot of fun adding in new features lately. Like designing a homepage and adding OIDC login support. Don't let anybody tell you auth isn't fun.

What’s the newest way of watching YouTube? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Probably because people self-host them. I have an invidious instance self-hosted and use clipious on android to watch videos on it. Feels super modern and have pretty much no issues. Public instances usually don't work because of datacenter ips get blocked by YouTube.

I get that comment often. I'll change the name if I have to. But it's a small open source project. My SEO results are already non-existent.

Exclusion filtering! What a great idea! You can quickly filter by keyword for episodes currently but you can't exclude certain words. I will get exclusion filtering added. The code is already in place for it!

Excellent point, I will include communication around Podcast 2.0 and all it's features in the future.

I like it a lot. It's not particularly difficult to write and once you get a feel for building components it's pretty simple to conceptualize just about anything you'd need to build. I'd probably say difficulty is about the same to write react/svelte etc.. Primary difference is that I don't need to deal with webpack/npm dependencies. Absolute worst. web_sys support is great in rust and does absolutely everything you'd need to interact with a browser.

Go is simpler to write and is great for apis. Also has strong library support for interacting with databases. That's the primary reason. They both create compiled binaries which means no library dependencies taking up space on the container. That's the primary issue with python currently. I have no problem using actix in rust and that might be a good direction to go honestly, the primary concern is removing the compile at runtime language.

Significantly upgraded just about everywhere. More features, supports modern podcasting 2.0 support, works great on mobile devices, sync support. The list goes on.

You can, on your local device. Pinepods syncs progress between devices instantly. I like to switch between laptop and phones. If you only listen on your phone and the app works for you that sounds like a great solution already.

Absolutely true. And if you only listen to podcasts on your phone that's a great solution. I like to switch between phone and laptop, and Pinepods syncs progress of everything on any client nearly instantaneously.

Hey all,

For quite a long time now I've been working 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 where your podcasts and settings follow you from device to device due to everything being stored on your server. There's installable clients on just about every platform - now including a beta build of an Android client! (Also a flatpak, aur, Mac, windows, deb, appimage, and rpm client as well)

Over time this project has really grown into something great, and many quality of life features have been baked in. The experience of using Pinepods at this point is getting close to some of the larger self-hosted projects such as Immich, and as feature complete as a client such as AntenaPods. I can't believe that a project hasn't previously heavily focused on becoming a fully feature complete Self-hosted Podcast platform because of how rooted in the spirit of open source the podcast ecosystem is built to be.

So many nice to haves have been added at this point:

  • chapter support
  • sorting/filtering/searching throughout
  • RSS feed hosting for other apps to use
  • Great mobile support everywhere (PWA, beta android client)
  • Nextcloud/Gpodder sync support -Postgres or MariaDB
  • simple API's for things like Homepage Widgets!

And lately I've even been working on a feature that allows you to subscribe to hosts! This will let you follow them from show to show. I've built a side project called PodPeopleDB for that: https://www.pinepods.online/blog/2024/12/08/podpeople-db

Chances are, if there's a feature in a podcast app that's a must have for you, it's already built in, and if it isn't, I want to know about it so I can add it!

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

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!

In case you're unware. What is podcasting 2.0?

Hey all,

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. There's also a client edition that you can download and install.

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!

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 client to stream episodes to and alternative database support. 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!

Pinepods - Self Hosted podcast management system (github.com)
 

For the last 6 months or so I’ve been working on Pinepods. I have never been able to find the perfect self-hosted podcast app that I wanted to use. podgrab’s player is rather lackluster and misses a lot of features that I would like.

With Pinepods you can play, download, and keep track of podcasts you enjoy. It allows for searching new podcasts using The Podcast Index or Itunes and provides a modern looking UI to browse through shows and episodes. In addition, Pinepods provides simple user managment and can be used by multiple users at once using a browser or app version. Everything is saved into a Mysql database including user settings, podcasts and episodes. It’s fully self-hosted, and I provide an option to use a hosted API or you can also get one from the podcast API and use your own. There’s even many different themes to choose from! Everything is fully dockerized and I provide a simple guide found below explaining how to install Pinepods on your own system.

There’s also lots of modern features like MFA, self-service password resets, and some Podcast 2.0 functionality (more to come)

In addition to all that, I’ve built a client version of the app that can connect via API to your home server over something like a reverse proxy or tailscale.

Pinepods is currently a couple beta releases in with all the basic functionality implemented. Currently, you’re likely to experience issues, but I certainly invite pull requests or opening issues if you have the time. Even assistance with debugging/creating documentation would be unbelievably helpful. You can also get setup assistance on the discord server. I invite you to try it out!
