Podgrab is a is a self-hosted podcast manager which automatically downloads latest podcast episodes. It is a light-weight application built using GO.
It works best if you already know which podcasts you want to monitor. However there is a podcast search system powered by iTunes built into Podgrab
Developers Note: This project is under active development which means I release new updates very frequently. It is recommended that you use something like watchtower which will automatically update your containers whenever I release a new version or periodically rebuild the container with the latest image manually.
Also check out my other self-hosted, open-source solution - Hammond - Vehicle and Expense management system.
Podgrab started as a tool that I initially built to solve a specific problem I had. During the COVID pandemic times I started going for a run. I do not prefer taking my phone along so I would add podcast episodes to my smart watch which could be connected with my bluetooth earphones. Most podcasting apps do not expose the mp3 files directly which is why I decided to build this quick tool for myself. Once it reached a stage where my requirements were fulfilled I decided to make it a little pretty and share it with everyone else.
The easiest way to run Podgrab is to run it as a docker container.
Simple setup without mounted volumes (for testing and evaluation)
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=podgrab akhilrex/podgrabBinding local volumes to the container
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=podgrab -v "/host/path/to/assets:/assets" -v "/host/path/to/config:/config" akhilrex/podgrabModify the docker compose file provided here to update the volume and port binding and run the following command
version: "2.1"
services:
podgrab:
image: akhilrex/podgrab
container_name: podgrab
environment:
- CHECK_FREQUENCY=240
# - PASSWORD=password ## Uncomment to enable basic authentication, username = podgrab
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
- /path/to/data:/assets
ports:
- 8080:8080
restart: unless-stopped docker-compose up -dAlthough personally I feel that using the docker container is the best way of using and enjoying something like Podgrab, a lot of people in the community are still not comfortable with using Docker and wanted to host it natively on their Linux servers. Follow the link below to get a guide on how to build Podgrab from source.
