Podify is a free and open-source podcast manager that allows you to subscribe to, download, and play podcasts. In this guide, we will show you how to install Podify on FreeBSD Latest system.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure that you have root access to your FreeBSD server and have a working internet connection.
Before installing Podify on FreeBSD, we need to install some package dependencies required for Podify to work properly. Use the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo pkg install npm libvlc libiconv libxml2 libxslt curl
Once the package dependencies installation process is complete, you can now proceed to install Podify on FreeBSD. Follow the steps below:
sudo git clone https://github.com/podify/podify.git /usr/local/podify
cd /usr/local/podify
sudo npm install
sudo npm start
We will now configure Podify to suit our preferences. Podify uses a configuration file named .podifyrc. You can create this file in the current user's home directory:
touch ~/.podifyrc
Open this file in your preferred text editor and add the following content:
{
"download_directory": "/path/to/download/directory"
}
Replace /path/to/download/directory with the path to the directory where you want to store your downloaded podcasts.
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to access the Podify web interface. You can then start to browse and listen to your favorite podcasts.
That's it! You have successfully installed Podify on FreeBSD and configured it to suit your needs. We hope this guide was helpful.
