Podify

Create podcasts from anything youtube-dl can handle.

Podify is a self-hosted service that allows you to download videos and audio from any source supported by youtube-dl, sort the downloads into feeds, and subscribe to these feeds using your favorite podcast app (I recommend Podcast Addict if you're on Android).

Installation using Docker

Here's a sample docker-compose.yml.

Configuration via Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |:----------------------|:---------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | DATABASE_URL | Yes | postgres:// url pointing to postgres database | | REDIS_URL | Yes | redis:// url pointing to redis instance | | URL_HOST | Yes | Where the app will be available, e.g. https://podify.yourdomain.com | | SECRET_KEY_BASE | Yes | This is used to encrypt sessions, see below | | STORAGE_DIR | Yes | Where downloads will be stored | | INITIAL_USER_EMAIL | No | Email of user to create at startup | | INITIAL_USER_PASSWORD | No | Password of user to create at startup | | ENABLE_SIGNUP | No | Allow anyone with access to the site to sign up. "yes" or "no" (default: "yes") |

SECRET_KEY_BASE

This is utilized to encrypt and sign sessions. It's recommended that you generate a new one instead of using the one from the example docker-compose.yml. You can generate a new one using

docker run --rm maxhollmann/podify rails secret

Development

docker compose -f dev-env/docker-compose.yml up
bundle install
yarn install

bundle exec sequel -m db/migrate postgres://podify@localhost/podify_development
bundle exec sequel -m db/migrate postgres://podify@localhost/podify_test

bin/webpack-dev-server
bundle exec rails s
bundle exec sidekiq

If you have tmux and tmuxp installed you can start all required services by running dev-env/up.
