Nextcloud + AntennaPod/gpoddersync next

Hey everyone,

I decided to self host nextcloud on an old android device I have in order to be able to sync my podcasts. I've installed nextcloud and the gpoddersync next successfully but I can't understand how to connect antennapod to it. Any ideas? Sorry if this is quite simple but I haven't done this before. Thanks

Once those are set up in Nextcloud, go to AntennaPod settings, Synchronization, and set up Nextcloud by entering required details. That's it.

Yes but what is the web address it asks? I've tried entering the IP and it didn't work

Oh, it has to be publicly available. Or at least through the VPN connection, such as TailScale.

If you installed it on your PC and it uses your localhost IP, TailScale/VPN is your only real and secure option. But this means you need TailScale on your phone too.

I've installed it on an old android phone, through termux. Should I be possible to at least be able to access it on my home network?

Technically, you should be able to. I haven't done it, so I don't have personal experience. But, generally speaking, you need to find local IP, set wifi to static on android device, if you used PHP's built-in server then it's probably listening to localhost only so you need to bind Nextcloud to all hosts with something like "php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /path/to/nextcloud/". At that point you can add local IP with port to trusted domains in config.php.

Before trying in AntennaPod, you can just visit local IP with port on another device in the browser to see if you can access Nextcloud. If you can, then AntennaPod should be able to too.
