mypod

Start your own podcast with just a folder of files.

Example configuration

The podcast-wide configuration can be placed in podcast.json in your storage directory:

{
  "BaseURL": "https://mypod.yourdomain.com",
  "Title": "My Personal Podcast",
  "Link": "https://mypod.yourdomain.com/",
  "Description": "A podcast of my favorite things.",
  "Language": "EN",
  "Copyright": "N/A",
  "Author": "Various",
  "Subtitle": "A subtitle",
  "Summary": "A summary",
  "Owner": {
    "Name": "Example Person",
    "Email": "you@example.com"
  },
  "Image": "/podcast.jpg",
  "Categories": ["Business", "News", "Technology"],
  "Explicit": false
}

• Link – The HTML URL you want a visitor to see when they tap on the podcast URL
• Image – The URL path to your podcast's image file (without the BaseURL)

MIME Types

Go builds in only a small number of MIME types, preferring instead to read the mime.types files commonly found on disk. On Unix, this includes /etc/mime.types, /etc/apache2/mime.types, /etc/apache/mime.types, and /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types. When running mypod in the provided Docker image, MIME types are downloaded from the Apache2 project. If you have custom MIME types on your server, mount them as a read-only volume to one of these paths. Note: MIME types must be in the format <type> <ext>, with no semi-colons or any other text. For example, the nginx mime.types file is an nginx directive and not a strict MIME types file so the Go MIME parsing will fail to read this properly.

Download Customization

Cookies

Provide cookies info in yt-dl-cookies.txt in your storage dir.

Additional yt-dlp flags

If you'd like to customize further the yt-dlp command that's run to download the podcast episode, place them into an array in yt-dl-args.json in your storage dir. The array must contain only strings -- any numerics or anything will fail.
