Readme

podfetch

PodFetch is a self-hosted podcast manager and archiver. Subscribe to shows (by RSS or via search), let it automatically download new episodes, organise them, and stream everything from a clean web UI or a podcast-app-compatible feed. It's a lightweight single binary backed by SQLite.

This pack runs PodFetch as a single host-networked Nomad service.

Deploy

nomad-pack run podfetch --registry=nomploy --var server_url=http://<node-ip>:8000

Open http://<node-ip>:8000 and add your first podcast.
