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!

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. It’s also super easy to import podcasts from any app using OPML files.

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 is on version 0.3.1 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!
