Been looking for a better way to handle my podcasts.
Stumbled over this : https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server.

Features :

• Fully open-source, including the android & iOS app (in beta)
• Stream all audio formats on the fly
• Search and add podcasts to download episodes w/ auto-download
• Multi-user support w/ custom permissions
• Keeps progress per user and syncs across devices
• Auto-detects library updates, no need to re-scan
• Upload books and podcasts w/ bulk upload drag and drop folders
• Backup your metadata + automated daily backups
• Progressive Web App (PWA)
• Chromecast support on the web app and android app
• Fetch metadata and cover art from several sources
• Basic ebook support and e-reader (experimental)
• Merge your audio files into a single m4b w/ metadata and embedded cover (experimental)

I just found this as well when searching for a better audiobooks & podcast solution. This would be really good to have on Cloudron. Its Github-Star-History looks nice, it's written in JavaScript and Vue and actively maintained with 44 contributors. Looks good to me

Nice, see also Castopod just in case you hadn't already seen that

Hi there,

I have created a Package for Audiobookshelf in the Cloudron Gitlab

Deployment works on my Cloudron.
After first start it will ask (in Browser) for a username and password (this will become master user). So please set this immediately!

After login you have to create a Library. The location have to be in /app/data

You may need to increase memory limit when audiobooks are more than something like 200MB. Instead of increasing the memory limit you can upload the audiobooks directly with the filemanager to the library folder instead of uploading it in the web interface auf Audiobookshelf.

Enjoy

Best,
Michael

Thank you @Kubernetes
I set this up as a regular docker deployment on a VPS.
I find it regularly stops ( or fails to restart, despite command).
So I look forward to seeing how this does.
They also seem to have frequent updates, so may have to refresh the package occasionally.

Initial package is published
