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!

Looks great! I wonder if this could be used to create some kind of podcast-based sponsorblock equivalent? I know there are issues with podcast- (providers) inserting sponsor reads and ads at random / unknown times, so, not sure how it could be done reliably.
I was thinking about that recently. Seems like it could be a decent use case for an Ai or something. A model that searches for consistent keywords or something. It’s on my feasibility map to take a look at. That does drive me absolutely crazy when it breaks to ads seemingly mid sentence.
