# U-Pod

## Overview

This is U-Pod, the torpedo-style podcast system with minimal footprint and maximum utility.

No databases needed to function, no cloud required, no datacenter necessary - just the filesystem and your content. Even your mom on her knees could help set it up, though that's not a functional requirement.

## Setup

First, you need to build the image. I've included a handy Dockerfile in the folder. Use it.

Once you've created your image, use Docker to run it after setting these environment variables.
By example, for my one:

<pre>
      PODCAST_PORT: ":8000" 
      PODCAST_BASE_URL: "https://bbs.keinpfusch.net" 
      PODCAST_AUDIO_DIR: "/app/audio" 
      PODCAST_COVERS_DIR: "/app/covers" 
      PODCAST_TITLE: "Das Böse Büro"
      PODCAST_AUTHOR: "Uriel Fanelli"
      PODCAST_COPYRIGHT: " Ⓒ2025 Uriel Fanelli"
      PODCAST_LOGO: "https://bbs.keinpfusch.net/cover.jpg"
      PODCAST_DESCRIPTION: "Il Podcast della Frangia Lunatica"
      PODCAST_LANGUAGE: "it-IT"
</pre>

## File Linking

What links files in /audio to files in /covers?

Files must share the same name, for example:

/audio/yourmom.mp3

must correspond to:

/covers/yourmom.jpg

It's simple. You don't need a fucking RDBMS for this. The filesystem is enough.

U-Pod will then create the torpedo, with the image properly linked to the audio.

Once you have the Docker image, simply create the /data folder and put your files in it.

## Podcast Player Badge - nice to know

/badge/EPISODE_NAME (the episode name without .mp3) generates a standalone HTML5 audio player. Embed it anywhere with <iframe src="URL/badge/EPISODE_NAME">. 
Resistant to external CSS.



## FAQ

- Mp3 files must be special?
  - They must contain proper mp3 tags.

- My "SisterGermanaGangbang 3.0" software can't use it.
  - It uses the standard podcast format http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd. If your shitty software can't read it, Blame Sister Germana.

- I don't know how to create Docker images.
  - Learn.

- What do you mean by environment variable?
  - Die! Die! Die!

- I need you to change this, this and that.
  - No, No, and No

- How can I get support for this software?
  - You cannot. Code is simple, and you are alone in the night, like any operation engineer during the night. Man up!!!!
