Castopod Host - open-source hosting platform made for podcasters who want engage and interact with their audience.

1.0 came out recently

https://blog.castopod.org/castopod-v1/

and there is an official docker

Now that Castopod has reached v 1.0 can we have it on Cloudron? That would be excellent. I wish I could help but I am not a programmer.

Alternatively, people who installed Castopod on LAMP-stack, is anyone willing to write a short tutorial?

We don't really have any podcasting solutions on Cloudron yet, so it'd be really great to have this!

And extra bonus points because it's also support ActivityPub and so is part of the fediverse too! (which is massively gaining traction because Musk is such an idiot)

Moreoever, it already has its Official DOCKER image, so what else is there to ask, or need.

Castopod works great so far on the Cloudron LAMP stack app. Great software.

Only thing not working for me is email smtp.

Can’t get Castopod to federate either, not sure what’s wrong.

@yusf Whats the handle(s), I can take a look from outside.

[yusf]

@scooke you on Matrix?

[scooke]

@yusf yes.

@yusf The network I'm on won't let the chat work, it seems. Strange. But something caught my eye - you want to get Castopod's federation working, but you've asked me to check via Matrix, right? Well, from what I understand, Matrix IS its federation software, whereas Castopod uses ActivityPub to federate, and the two do not inter-federate normally. So maybe this is why you can't get Castopod to federate... you are checking it with the wrong protocol. Check it with a Mastodon instance, at least, and maybe a Pixelfed or Peertube instance. You can DM me the address you want checked, if it uses AP, and I can check with my instances.

@scooke No no, I just wanted to have the convo in private, on Matrix

Does Castopod stand a chance of being supported natively in Cloudron? It looks like I'll have to make another virtual machine for YunoHost or a similar platform.

[privsec]

@ajtatum it runs decently in a lamp app

hi

Castopod has a docker install. BUT i cant get it to work on my test server. It would be nice to have it on cloudron.
