Podcast enthusiasts and homelab archivers automate digital episode preservation and stream personal audio feeds using PodFetch, an open-source self-hosted podcast manager that combines scheduled RSS downloads, Podcasting 2.0 transcript indexing, and browser playback into a modern listening platform. Listeners can subscribe to international podcast channels through direct feed URLs, Apple Podcasts directory searches, or bulk OPML subscription imports, configuring background polling timers to download new releases automatically upon publication. The integrated audio player supports variable speed playback, episode bookmarks, listening histories, and fullscreen visualization modes directly inside responsive desktop and mobile browser sessions. Advanced search capabilities leverage Podcasting 2.0 synchronized transcripts and automated speech-to-text generation via OpenAI-compatible Whisper APIs, allowing collectors to run full-text keyword searches across every spoken phrase in their audio archive. Built-in GPodder API synchronization maintains subscription lists and playback positions across popular smartphone apps like AntennaPod and native companion clients without relying on commercial cloud accounts. Server operators can assign multi-user accounts with private favorites lists, export customized RSS aggregation streams, and route storage paths between fast solid-state drives and large secondary mechanical hard disks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
