## About The Project
Podgrab is a is a self-hosted podcast manager which automatically downloads latest podcast episodes. It is a light-weight application built using GO.
It works best if you already know which podcasts you want to monitor. However there is a podcast search system powered by iTunes built into Podgrab
*Developers Note: This project is under active development which means I release new updates very frequently. It is recommended that you use something like [watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower) which will automatically update your containers whenever I release a new version or periodically rebuild the container with the latest image manually.*
### Motivation
Podgrab started a tool that I initially built to solve a specific problem I had. During the COVID pandemic times I started going for a run. I do not prefer taking by phone along so I would add podcast episodes to my smart watch which could be connected with my bluetooth earphones. Most podcasting apps do not expose the mp3 files directly which is why I decided to build this quick tool for myself. Once it reached a stage where my requirements were fulfilled I decided to make it a little pretty and share it with everyone else.

## Installation
The easiest way to run Podgrab is to run it as a docker container.
### Using Docker
Simple setup without mounted volumes (for testing and evaluation)
```sh
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=podgrab akhilrex/podgrab
```
Binding local volumes to the container
```sh
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=podgrab -v "/host/path/to/assets:/assets" -v "/host/path/to/config:/config" akhilrex/podgrab
```
### Using Docker-Compose
Modify the docker compose file provided [here](https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab/blob/master/docker-compose.yml) to update the volume and port binding and run the following command
```yaml
version: "2.1"
services:
podgrab:
