Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help - Lemmy.World
Hi all! I’ve posted a couple times in the past about Pinepods
[https://www.pinepods.online/]. The ultimate self-hosted podcast server that
syncs times between devices, archives, plays, and manages your podcasts. I’ve
just finished up the very first builds of the official Pinepods mobile apps for
both Android and iOS and they are now in testing phases for both the Google Play
Store and the App Store respectively. However, I’m at a small stop gap, and I
need help from the selfhosted community. I need some people willing to sign up
for the testing program and download the app in order to get them posted
officially to the store fronts. You don’t even really have to use it (though I
would really appreciate it if you gave it a try as Pinepods has really made
strides in becoming the best it can be as one of the most feature rich Podcast
platforms around) I just need people to join the programs and install the apps
in order to get on the app stores. Oh and yes, before you ask, Android Auto and
CarPlay support are coming in the next update. Not here yet, but very soon. I’ve
done quite a bit of work to make sign ups for the beta program as easy as
possible, you can simply do it here
[https://www.pinepods.online/internal-testing]. Simply choose your platform of
choice and you’ll get an email with a link. And as an aside, Pinepods 0.8.0 is
days away from fully releasing and has had it’s api FULLY rebuilt in rust. The
entire app is now 100% rust and is blazingly fast because of it. If you do want
to test out Pinepods, I would highly recommend pulling down the :nightly docker
tag rather than latest for the time being. It’s really close to bug free at this
point. I could say more about Pinepods itself but I’ll let the site speak for
itself, it got an overhaul in preparation for 0.8.0 and can really sell it. I’ve
even just rolled out an official TUI based client called Firewood. I’m really
trying to make the best self-hosted Podcast platform that does it all. GitHub:

Pinepods 0.7.2 - The rust based self-hosted podcast platform, complete with Podcasting 2.0 features! - Lemmy.World
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
[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!

Pinepods 0.5.0 - Great news for Podcast enjoyers and self hosted advocates. Self hosted podcast management with Nextcloud sync. All open sourced! - Lemmy.World
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 and instance of your own up and running in 5 mins! If you’re only 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! Official website: https://www.pinepods.online/

Pinepods - Self hosted podcast management system - Lemmy.world
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! Check out
