ssmithxandClaude Fable 5 594a9a8783 feat(server): podpuddle scaffold + Fastify backend (nostr auth, RSS, streams)
- docker-compose stack: podpuddle + MediaMTX (RTMP/WHIP/HLS) + blossom-server
- NIP-98 nostr-only login with session cookies, replay guard, clock-skew window
- podcasts/episodes CRUD; episodes register browser-uploaded blossom blobs
- RSS 2.0 + itunes + podcast namespace feeds with lnaddress value blocks
  (podcast:guid UUIDv5 verified against the spec vector)
- streams API with hashed stream keys; MediaMTX http-auth webhook
  (query/password/bearer forms); API poller flips live/ended status
- NIP-53 kind 30311 live events published with the server's nostr identity
- recordings: ffmpeg remux + server-key blossom upload → podcast episode
- 35 vitest tests green

2.0 KiB

podpuddle

Self-hosted, nostr-native podcast publishing and livestreaming.

  • Log in with nostr — NIP-07 browser extension (Alby, nos2x, …); the server verifies NIP-98 signed requests. No passwords, no email.
  • Upload an mp4 → it is stored on a Blossom server (bundled, or point at any external one) and published in an RSS 2.0 podcast feed with Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:value> lightning-address payment info.
  • Go live — stream from OBS (RTMP) or straight from the browser (WebRTC/WHIP) through MediaMTX; viewers watch via HLS and the stream is announced on nostr as a NIP-53 (kind 30311) live event.
  • Publish recordings — live streams are recorded; one click remuxes and publishes a recording as a podcast episode.

Quick start

cp .env.example .env   # edit PUBLIC_HOST if not localhost
docker compose up --build -d

Then open http://localhost:8095, log in with a NIP-07 extension, and follow the wizard.

Services / ports

Service Host port Purpose
podpuddle 8095 Web UI + API + RSS feeds
MediaMTX 1935 RTMP ingest (OBS)
MediaMTX 8889 (+8189/udp) WebRTC/WHIP ingest (browser)
MediaMTX 8890 HLS playback
blossom-server 8098 Media blob storage (sha256-addressed)

Streaming with OBS

Create a stream in the UI; it gives you:

  • Server: rtmp://<host>:1935/live
  • Stream key: <streamId>?key=<secret>

The HLS playback URL (http://<host>:8890/live/<streamId>/index.m3u8) is public and never contains the secret.

Development

docker compose up mediamtx blossom -d   # backends
cd server   && npm install && npm run dev   # API on :8095
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev   # Vite on :5173, proxies /api + /feeds

Tests: cd server && npm test.

Data

Everything lives in named docker volumes: podpuddle-data (SQLite, server nostr key, covers), mediamtx-recordings (stream recordings, 7-day retention), blossom-data (media blobs).
