PinePods

What PinePods is

PinePods is a Rust-powered, self-hosted podcast server with clients that sync across devices. It is available for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and API use, and all features are listed at zero cost for self-hosted use. Users can subscribe to podcasts and search for shows through Podcast Index and iTunes. They can also subscribe to YouTube channels and receive audio-only downloads as podcasts. Listening position, settings, themes, and subscriptions sync across devices. Playback features include custom RSS feeds, OPML import and export, speed controls, and per-podcast start and end cutoffs. PinePods includes its own gpodder server and supports external gpodder servers and Nextcloud gpodder sync. It supports multiple users with separate libraries, multi-factor authentication, and OpenID Connect. The maker documents Docker Compose and Kubernetes with Helm deployment options. PinePods stores user settings, podcasts, and episodes in MySQL or Postgres; its database API connects the web, desktop, and mobile clients, which authenticate with API keys. A public demo is available, but demo accounts may be deleted and are not intended for permanent use.
