Pinepods - Self Hosted podcast management system
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 just had it’s first beta release 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. You can also get setup assistance on the discord server. I invite you to try it out!
