Looking for selfhosted app for managing and playing podcasts

Bobby Bandwidth@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 31 points –

I’d like to self-host an app to manage and play podcasts from any of my devices via local/vpn.

I found PinePods which is new but looks promising: https://github.com/madeofpendletonwool/PinePods

I was curious if you guys were using anything else?

Thanks

P.S. sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn’t figure out how to effectively search lemmy communities

I settled on https://www.audiobookshelf.org Might be a bit confusing at first, but after setting it up, it does exactly what I want. Easy to listen to podcast on my iPhone, including setting speed & sleep timer and the server fetches the new episodes every day.

I love Audiobookshelf for audiobooks, didn't realize it supported podcasts as well. I will have to look into that, thanks!

Audiobookshelf is by far my most used selfhosted app, mostly due to podcasts. It's awesome, really wish the dev would accept donations.

I use Kasts (desktop) and AntennaPod (mobile) with GpodderSync on Nextcloud to store the subscriptions and episodes states.

Oooh nice, I've been looking for a way to do this!

It might be easier to get suggestions if you go into more detail about the functionality you're looking for, whether it replicates paid features of other clients or something else altogether.

I use PodGrab, and think it’s great for saving local copies of podcast episodes to your server:

I have used it for a long time, I like it too. I use the local podcast feeds from podgrab into antennapod on android.

In the beginning I used the tags feeds to have a single feed for all podcasts of a certain category. But now I have a feed for each podcast like normal people.

Gonic supports podcasts and works with Subsonic clients.
