A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've been using AntennaPod as my go-to podcast client, and I just stumbled upon a comment from the official AntennaPod account on Mastodon. They mentioned this docs page https://antennapod.org/documentation/general/synchronization, which talks about gPodder and some other solutions out there. I did a bit of digging and found even more self-hostable gPodder server applications. I'd love to set one up using Podman or Docker if possible.

Have you tried any of these solutions? If so, which one would you recommend?

If you've got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.

Been using this for years, runs like a top.

I have been using https://github.com/oxtyped/gpodder2go for a while, seems to work and I have not found a better solution yet.

Still looking for a web or desktop podcast player that does sync with gPodder though...

KDE Kast does sync with it as far as I remember. Not the best in terms of UX though.

Correct, I use Kast on the desktop, works nicely

Did not work wit gpodder2go, so I installed https://github.com/kd2org/opodsync (docker: https://github.com/ganeshlab/opodsync) again. That seems to work.

I'm also using this, and it works.

Oh wow. I'd seen the gpodder thing in antennapod subscriptions but never realised it was a kind of discovery / recommendation service.

I wonder if the recommendation stuff works with a self hosted instance?
