A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Podcast automation? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Looking for a solution where I can use RSS feeds to download podcast episodes when they drop, to then be picked up by Navidrome for listening.

Doesn't need to be elaborate, just needs to allow for keeping organized directory structures. Bonus would be if it included metadata.

Anything that you're aware of that will also strip out the 28 minutes of commercials in a 36 minute podcast?

There's this guy that I've had my eye on but personally tried and failed to get set up on my machine: https://github.com/jdrbc/podly_pure_podcasts

Thanks for the recommendation, will give that a further look.

I have played with Pinchflat as mentioned by another poster. I've found that some of the ones that aren't on YouTube, you can use AudioBookShelf or similar in conjunction with a vpn set to a non core country for the podcast, you can either remove or at least greatly reduce the ad inserts.

Have an experiment with that, I use a gluetun docker and link my ABS docker to that.

I will check that out, thank you!

If the podcast is on YouTube you can use Pinchflat to remove ads (assuming it’s been mapped on SponsorBlock). I’ve had hit and miss results but some being ad-free is better than none.
