I've been using AntennaPod as my go-to podcast client, and I just stumbled upon a comment from the official AntennaPod account on Mastodon. They mentioned this docs page https://antennapod.org/documentation/general/synchronization, which talks about gPodder and some other solutions out there. I did a bit of digging and found even more self-hostable gPodder server applications. I'd love to set one up using Podman or Docker if possible.
Have you tried any of these solutions? If so, which one would you recommend?

If you've got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.

Been using this for years, runs like a top.

I have been using https://github.com/oxtyped/gpodder2go for a while, seems to work and I have not found a better solution yet.
Still looking for a web or desktop podcast player that does sync with gPodder though...

KDE Kast does sync with it as far as I remember. Not the best in terms of UX though.

Correct, I use Kast on the desktop, works nicely

Did not work wit gpodder2go, so I installed https://github.com/kd2org/opodsync (docker: https://github.com/ganeshlab/opodsync) again. That seems to work.

I'm also using this, and it works.

It looks like there's several distinct components to gpodder which confuse things.
Firstly gpodder seems to be a desktop podcast client.
Secondly there's the sync service / protocol. Gpodder.net provides this for free but according to antennapod doesn't have adequate resources and causes errors in your client (which I can confirm). There are other containers available which are not from the gpodder team but emulate the protocol.
Finally there's the recommendation / discovery service apparently provided by gpodder.net. I haven't been able to get this to work because my client hasn't been able to sync yet, despite 12 hours of trying.
In my own case, I already have a client (antennapod) and I'm not really interested in sync because I only use the one device. The recommendation / discovery service would've been cool but it seems broken for the moment.

Oh wow. I'd seen the gpodder thing in antennapod subscriptions but never realised it was a kind of discovery / recommendation service.
I wonder if the recommendation stuff works with a self hosted instance?
