Otter

Otter is a modern implementation of the Gpodder server API. Its primary goal is to be used as a self-hostable drop-in replacement for Gpodder, suitable for low-power devices.

Features

  • Implementation of API sections needed for synchronisation
    • Authentication
    • Devices API
    • Subscriptions API
    • Episode actions API
    • Device synchronisation API

Configuration

Otter is configurable via a TOML config file, environment variables and CLI arguments thanks to the Figment library. Each variable in the configuration file below can be provided via an environment variable (prefixed using OTTER_) or a CLI argument.

data_dir = "./data"
domain = "127.0.0.1"
port = 8080

Otter can be told to read a config variable using the --config/-c flag (see the help command for other useful CLI commands). Each variable needs to be provided either from the config file, as an environment variable (e.g. OTTER_DATA_DIR) or a CLI argument (e.g. --data-dir).

If a variable is provided in multiple ways, environment variables overwrite configuration file variables, and CLI arguments overwrite both.
