# Podstalk

Podstalk is a bare-bones podcast hosting platform. It hosts a single podcast —
allowing a user to create and manage episodes and serve an RSS feed for
subscribers.

## Quick Start

```sh
# Build the image
docker build -t podstalk .

# Run with persistent storage and your podcast's public URL
docker run -d \
  --name podstalk \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v podstalk-data:/data \
  -v podstalk-uploads:/uploads \
  -e PODSTALK_LINK=https://podcast.example.com \
  -e PODSTALK_TITLE="My Podcast" \
  podstalk
```

On first launch, visit `http://localhost:8080/signup` to create your account.

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | `8080` | HTTP listen port |
| `PODSTALK_DB` | `podstalk.db` | SQLite database path |
| `PODSTALK_UPLOAD_DIR` | `uploads` | Audio/image file storage |
| `PODSTALK_LINK` | `http://localhost:8080` | Public URL (used in RSS feed) |
| `PODSTALK_TITLE` | `Podstalk` | Fallback podcast title |
| `PODSTALK_AUTHOR` | `Podstalk` | RSS author field |

The podcast title and image can also be set from the dashboard after signing in.

## RSS Feed

The RSS 2.0 feed (with iTunes extensions) is available at `/rss`. It includes
`<enclosure>`, `<itunes:image>`, `<guid>`, and `<pubDate>` for each episode.

## Running Without Docker

```sh
go run .
# or
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o podstalk . && ./podstalk
```
