Podfetch is a self-hosted podcast manager. It is a web app that lets you download podcasts and listen to them online. It is written in Rust and uses React for the frontend. It also contains a GPodder integration, so you can continue using your current podcast app.
Every time a new commit is pushed to the main branch, a new docker image is built and pushed to docker hub. So it is best to use something like watchtower to automatically update the docker image.
