Proof-of-concept podcast distribution platform for the AtProto.
AtCast uses UploadThing instead of storing episodes in the pds. This will be changed in the future once I find a good way to store very large files in an AtProto PDS without hitting limits or annoying BlueSky's admins.
This is also so that AtCast can provide a kind of CDN interface using regular rest/http/hls, etc, where services (i.e. Spotify) can't interact with the AtProto. Once the PDS issue is solved, the UploadThing repository will be used as a mirror to store generated streamable audio segments.
An AtProto account its self is considered as the brand for the show, a single account cannot create multiple shows. To own multiple accounts, the user must have a unique handle for each. Profiles and information are currently derived from the app.bsky.actor.profile lexicon.
When running yourself, it is as simple as ensuring you have Bun installed and the appropriate environment variables. Here is a sample .env file:
# Required
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:[email protected]/neondb?sslmode=require
# Required - should be the domain with an /xrpc endpoint
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000"
# React scan key can be omitted
NEXT_PUBLIC_REACT_SCAN_API_KEY="key"
# Required
UPLOADTHING_TOKEN="token"This file should be placed at the path apps/web/.env. You may also need to copy this file to packages/models/.env so that the database migrations apply properly.
