A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Yes, if you mean not download to the client. By default they are streamed to your client.
If you are asking NOT to download them to the server itself.... Nope, make no sense after all... You are selfhosting...
Just use antennapod instead or another podcast client and don't use abs in that case.
thank you!
thx for the explanation ! So its basically an archive tool
It's primarily used for audiobooks. Those need to be stored somewhere.
The podcast feature of Audiobookshelf uses the same structure, so the server downloads the file and the client can then find it and either download it to your local device or stream it from your server.
If you don't want that, I wouldn't use Audiobookshelf as an intermediary tool. I'd use Pocket Casts, or antennapod or some such.
Unrelated but there are several open source podcast aapps that will do this like AntennaPod or Cardo
thank you!
On Android app called "Lissen". 10/10 Available on F-Droid
thank you! but how does it compared to antennapod?
Needs a better sort or organization but the client is snappy and audio controls nice nice
