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 cool. Why discord and not matrix?
Entirely due to me trying to make getting help as accessible as possible. If there’s demand for a matrix server I’d be happy to start one up.
+1 for matrix
I understand your reasoning. And I understand it for old projects, matrix wasn’t an option 5 or 10 years ago. Almost all modern public projects are on matrix nowadays. Someone said it already, there are also bridges and matrix doesn’t excludr anyone.
Honestly you guys have easily convinced me. I’d much prefer matrix personally anyway. I’ll get a matrix server up and running this weekend!
Cool! You don’t need a server specifically for that, a room is enough. Just create an account on a reliable server and create the room. Most big rooms are on matrix.org in my experience, unless it’s some of the big projects from mozilla, gnome or kde but even openstreetmap are on matrix.org
Matrix room is a go! I’ve got a badge created on the repo Readme to join so hopefully anyone interested in matrix will see that and join over discord. I’ll get a link added to the documentation site as well. Thanks for the tips!
That’s cool
You could look at setting up a discord bridge on the matrix server to bridge messages between the two. Pine64 have had something like that for quite a while on their discord & matrix.
Also echoing what’s been said already, I did initially think this was some air pods style product from Pine64, as they prefix almost anything they make with Pine
