So I’m looking for a solution that is a self-hosted (docker preferably) podcast streamer/aggregator. I DO NOT NEED A DOWNLOADER. Ideally, I’d be able to add RSS feeds and stream them through a web interface that will keep track of progress, etc. I’m not talking about something that serves up downloaded podcasts either, I can do that in Plex/Jellyfin.
So you want to redirect podcasts over your server and save your progress there? Maybe icecast (maybe combined with mpd) will do the trick?"
Kind of. I’m thinking something along the lines of sonarr/radarr/etc but with the ability to play/stream the podcast instead of downloading it. I tend to use web interfaces of stuff like that at work and can’t really use my phone. Maybe I’ll have to look into a roll-your-own solution using some existing stuff. Was hoping I wouldn’t have to.
please share if you do. last time I looked (maybe a year ago) podcasts and audiobooks still have a lot of gaps in selfhosted.
Since podcasts are RSS feeds could you use an existing RSS aggregator? Need to add a player and track play time I guess.
Maybe Audiobookshelf? You can set up podcasts and stream them from the web interface. It’ll keep track of your progress, so you can switch from web to phone and pick up in the same spot.
Edit: though it does download the podcast to the server so that you can stream it, but it grabs them automatically.
This is what I ended up going with. I’ll just have to keep an eye on disk space.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get ChatGPT to write correct Python code for my ESP32 project. I got no problem just writing a bash script to email me.
gpodder.net selfhosted.
