Official

Docker app from UnraidUser-2043743457's Repository

Overview

Podly removes ads from podcasts. For each new episode of a feed you add, it transcribes the audio with Whisper, has an LLM find the ad segments, cuts them out, and serves an ad-free RSS feed you can subscribe to in any podcast app. After the first start, open the web UI and choose your LLM and transcription providers on the Config page. A Groq API key is enough for both. The default image can also transcribe locally on the CPU; the lite tag leaves local Whisper out. With REQUIRE_AUTH=true (the default here), the admin account is created on first start from PODLY_ADMIN_USERNAME and PODLY_ADMIN_PASSWORD. Podcast apps then subscribe with the link from each feed's "Subscribe to Podly RSS" button, which carries its own token. NVIDIA GPU: change the tag to gpu-nvidia-amd64 and add --runtime=nvidia to Extra Parameters (needs the Nvidia Driver plugin).

PODLY_TRUSTED_PROXYVariable

Behind an HTTPS reverse proxy: the proxy's exact IPv4 address as Podly sees it, so feed links use https. Leave empty otherwise. Never use a Docker bridge gateway address that clients of a published port also appear as.
