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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

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.
I found that chatgpt works very well to write simple automation workflows
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.
I'll have to check this out. Have you run this in a container or just a native app?
https://github.com/oxtyped/gpodder2go
Is a go implementation of gpodder that is simpler to deploy with an existing container image.
I have it running on Yunohost. Point and click to try it out before moving to a container and just never got around to doing it in a container.
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.
