It’s not in a finished state yet. But it’s definitely usable as is. It’s fully dockerized and hosted on your server, and streams from your server to clients.
I use Gpoddersync on Nextcloud as the subscription/watched service, Kasts as the desktop app and Antennapod for Android. I think there’s a Podder webapp for Nextcloud that uses the sync data as well, but I’ve never used it.
I have no idea about podcasts. But since no one mentioned it yet, perhaps take a look at Funkwhale. It’s a decentralised platform, like Lemmy, for music and podcasts.
Have you managed to selfhost it ? Funkwhale looks great, but the installation process with another proxy than nginx in a container setup is far from ready and accessible to hobby selfhosters.
If you have no idea about proxies and headers forwarder… just don’t waste your time and go straight to audiobookshelf !
If you already have it, it looks like Plex can do it with https://channels1867.rssing.com/chan-55464362/all_p107.html
It’ll probably get you most of those features, though it probably won’t be as nice as something purpose built. But if you already have Plex it might be nice to have all your stuff in one place. Alternatively you could probably setup something to download podcasts to your server into a folder that Plex watches.
Something I have found is missing from both of these suggestions as well as every podcast app on device is transcoding to speed up so it is not sped up on the fly. For a lot of phones and other devices the task of playing back at 2x speed is enough to demand a higher power state than what is required to play a sped up file. For efficiency doing a single pass of speeding up the audio then playing back at that speed would use less power during the playback phase, allowing you to download and speed up all of your podcasts at home while on charge then listen for long periods without completely killing the battery. I have checked with a few if the open source devs and this is not a feature they see utility for so nobody intends to make it.

I’m ever continuing development on my self hosted podcast management app with all the features you’re looking for here https://github.com/madeofpendletonwool/PinePods

Thanks for the warning. From all the comments in this post, I think audiobookshelf is certainly a great option!
Spiritual successor to podgrab is podfetch https://github.com/SamTV12345/PodFetch
It’s written in Rust 👀
Maybe this? https://castopod.com
Castopod is great for hosting a podcast :)

This post is from 10 years ago, since that post was made plex has both added and then removed native podcast support.

could you like run a cron job to speed up the audiofiles after download? using maybe ffmpeg? might be a better way
https://github.com/joshwbrick/podsumer?ref=selfh.st was featured on selfh.st this week. Can’t say I know a great deal about it, but might be worth checking out.
I didn’t know github.com had referral links now!
I use https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab with audiobookshelf
AudioBookshelf ticks all those requirements.
+1 audiobookshelf. I use for audiobooks and podcast and it just works.
I second AudioBookShelf. Although I don’t use it for podcasts, I use it for audiobooks, but it does do all the things you mentioned.
I recently learned it can do podcasts and even has a podcast search so you can easily add them.
Waaaaaait I’ve never thought of using it for podcasts. Been using Pocket Cast but maybe I should take a look.
I haven’t used it in about a year, but I had to stop because eventually any podcast feed would just stop working.
