# PinePods Nix Package
A Nix/NixOS package for [PinePods](https://github.com/madeofpendletonwool/PinePods), a self-hosted podcast manager. This packages the PinePods desktop client (Tauri v2) for NixOS.
> **Note:** PinePods is a client/server application. You will need a running PinePods server instance to use this package. See the [PinePods documentation](https://github.com/madeofpendletonwool/PinePods) for server setup instructions.
---
## Requirements
- NixOS
- A running PinePods server (self-hosted)
---
## Installation
### Option 1: NixOS Module via Flake (recommended)
Add PinePods as a flake input in your system `flake.nix`:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.11";
pinepods.url = "git+https://git.briannelson.dev/brian/PinePods-nix";
pinepods.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, pinepods, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.mymachine = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
pinepods.nixosModules.pinepods
{
services.pinepods = {
enable = true;
# Your server address
server = "https://pinepods.example.com";
};
}
];
};
};
}
```
Then rebuild your system:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
```
---
### Option 2: NixOS Module without Flakes
Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://git.briannelson.dev/brian/PinePods-nix.git
```
Add the module to your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:
```nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports = [
/path/to/pinepods-nix/pinepods-module.nix
];
services.pinepods = {
enable = true;
# Your server address
server = "https://pinepods.example.com";
};
}
```
Then rebuild your system:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
```
---
### Option 3: Install to user profile with nix-env
Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://git.briannelson.dev/brian/PinePods-nix.git
cd pinepods-nix
```
Install to your user profile:
```bash
nix-env -f default.nix -iA pinepods
```
This is persistent across reboots. To uninstall:
```bash
nix-env -e pinepods
```
> **Note:** With this option the `server` URL cannot be pre-configured. You will need to enter it manually in the app on first launch.
---
## Configuration
### Module Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `services.pinepods.enable` | bool | `false` | Enable the PinePods desktop client |
| `services.pinepods.server` | string | `""` | URL of your PinePods server (e.g. `https://pinepods.example.com`) |
When `server` is set, the app will navigate directly to your server on launch. If left empty, the app will open to a blank page and you will need to navigate to your server manually in the address bar.
---

```
---
## How It Works
PinePods is a multi-component application. This package builds two components from source:
**Frontend (pinepods-frontend):** The Yew/WASM web frontend is compiled using `trunk` targeting `wasm32-unknown-unknown`. The output is a static `dist/` directory containing HTML, WASM, and CSS assets.
**Desktop client (pinepods):** The Tauri v2 desktop binary is compiled with `cargo`, with the pre-built frontend assets embedded directly into the binary via the `custom-protocol` feature. At build time, `tauri.conf.json` is patched to remove the `devUrl` so Tauri serves the embedded assets instead of connecting to a development server. The Rust source is also patched to read the `PINEPODS_SERVER` environment variable and navigate the app window to that URL on launch.
**Runtime dependencies** are provided via `wrapProgram`:
- WebKit2GTK 4.1 (Tauri v2 requirement)
- GStreamer + plugins (audio playback)
- libayatana-appindicator (system tray icon)
- GLib/GTK3/Cairo stack
---
## Building from Source
To build manually without installing:
```bash
git clone https://git.briannelson.dev/brian/PinePods-nix.git
cd pinepods-nix
nix-build -A pinepods
./result/bin/pinepods
```
To use the dev shell with all build tools available:
```bash
nix develop
```
---
## Updating to a New Version of PinePods
*This project is still a WIP so I have not been able to test these step until a new version of PinePods gets released*
To update to a new PinePods release:
1. Update the `version` and `sha256` in `pinepods.nix`:
```nix
version = "0.8.3"; # new version
sha256 = "..."; # run nix-build and paste the correct hash from the error
```
2. Replace the Cargo lockfiles with the new versions:
```bash
curl -L https://github.com/madeofpendletonwool/PinePods/archive/refs/tags/0.8.3.tar.gz | tar xz
cp PinePods-0.8.3/web/Cargo.lock ./Cargo.frontend.lock
cp PinePods-0.8.3/web/src-tauri/Cargo.lock ./Cargo.lock
```
3. Check if the `wasm-bindgen` version changed:
```bash
grep "wasm-bindgen" PinePods-0.8.3/web/Cargo.toml
```
If it changed, update `wasm-bindgen-cli` in `default.nix` and `TRUNK_TOOLS_WASM_BINDGEN` in `pinepods.nix` accordingly.
4. Rebuild and test:
```bash
nix-build -A pinepods
./result/bin/pinepods
```
---
## Troubleshooting
**White screen on launch**
Make sure `WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS=1` is set. This is handled automatically by the package wrapper.
**No audio playback**
GStreamer plugins are included but if audio still doesn't work, check that your system has the required codec support:
```bash
gst-inspect-1.0 autoaudiosink
gst-inspect-1.0 appsink
```
**Login doesn't persist between sessions**
This is a known limitation of the WebKit localStorage implementation. As a workaround, set `services.pinepods.server` in your NixOS configuration so the app always navigates to your server on launch.
**Tray icon shows generic icon**
The icon is installed under the app's reverse-DNS identifier `com.gooseberrydevelopment.pinepods`. Make sure your icon theme cache is up to date:
```bash
gtk-update-icon-cache
```
